The Mayor's House

The mayor’s house is gated,

With a policeman standing guard.

Most times that job seems boring

And, although it isn’t hard

 

If things go wrong, there will be blame

So every day and night,

The little guard hut’s occupied;

Security is tight.

 

I’m sitting with a perfect view

And watched the guard unlock

The iron gates; two SUV’s

Drove in from up the block.

 

The tinted windows gave no hint

Of passengers within.

Perhaps it was the mayor

(Soon ex-mayor; he won’t win).

 

His presence or his absence

Doesn’t really mean a lot,

But I’m envious because he always

Has a parking spot.
