Chicago's All-TIme Favorite Sport

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

The votes are in…

I know you've probably heard about
Chicago politics.
"Vote early and vote often!"
How 'bout Blago's shady schtick?

Where Al Capone and Baby Face
once crimed their way to fame
a godfather-like atmosphere
still lingers in this place.

The Daley Show has run its course
and proved you can't get rich
without some union on your side
or scratching someone's itch..

The Windy City's good old boys
aren't known to kiss and tell.
Look how they tried to block the way
of Rahm Emanuel.

The Cubs, Sox, Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks
pale when contrasted to
the game that's played at City Hall
where old tricks still are new.
