The Freshman And His Oldest Friend
-So, you're telling me you haven't served a day yet
and you've already raised your reelection money?
-They also serve who only gad about this golden town,
leaving each soiree with a bushel of cash.
-Like, they're giving it to you out of love?
They want something back!
-Nothing to do with me.
-Gotta be.
-Nope. Leadership handles everything.
-And then tells you how to vote.
-You always put things so crudely.
-Bribery, once removed. Well, all that aside, you still
got a job to do. Constituent services for one.
-Old pros handle that. No need to get my hands dirty.
Same with boring committee nonsense.
-Looks to me that you'll be doing nothing!
-Talking. We've got a lovely mantra.
-A Parrot!
-With such pretty feathers!
