Words to abdicate by

Posted

To the editor:

In the mood of the “1776” movie song about John Adams forcing Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence, a few lyrics for Mayor Eric Adams:

Mayor. Adams, damn you, Mayor Adams,

You’re a devious one, that cannot be denied

You surround yourself with loyal fools 

Who always take your side

And now the feds have uncovered your hidden underside.

 

Did you conspire with foreign leaders

To get gifts and foreign trips?

While lying to the public 

To hide your sinking ship

Promoting your career and wealth was a clever trick.

 

Was it worth it, was it, Mayor Adams?

You will soon find out and face your fate

Didn’t you career in law enforcement 

Help to keep you straight?

And facing temptation make you hesitate?

Michael J. Gorman
