"And so" said the Senator, "Pork's institutional."

"I couldn't care less if it's Unconstitutional!"

The young staffer hung his head

And made his egress with a sense of dread

"How foolish I was to be an idealist

When the Man I work for is a hardheaded realist.

I vow never again to let my morality blind me

To unethical proposals that seek for and find me."

And so in Backroom Politics he soon became a resident

Soon that young staffer's got a good shot at President
