The Bribe

 

By Elton Camp

 

Senator, give support for the gambling bill

It will cure our fair State of its financial ill

And you know you can trust a man like me

That it’ll bring no crime increase I will see

 

But it will greatly enhance the money flow

And as an initial example, why here you go

Your vote or influence I’m not trying to buy

That’s highly illegal and I wouldn’t even try

 

This is a little extra you can use as you please

I know it’s hard to get by in times like these

And once the bill, into law has been signed

To give to you even more I will be inclined
