Burning Down the House

An alligator asked me
just the other day
can you spare a buck
for the daily rag?
What century you from
Bub, I asked
we don't hardly have those
anymore
a gator lives a long time
he said, and he was a long one
ten foot, maybe more
mebbe you can help me
Bub
if y'all still looking for a Speaker
I could help you out
Well, I said
we just elected a croc
but we'll keep you in mind—
politics is hard!
We agreed on that
and parted ways.
