A Limerick in Honor of Detroit's disgraced mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick

Detroit's Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, in the face of evidence that he conducted a long-term extramarital affair, perjured himself to hide the affair, then spent 8.4 million dollars of taxpayer money to cover up his perjury, has vowed that he won't resign his office because he's on a "mission from God" to be mayor of Detroit. Kilpatrick's outrageous actions and his colossal arrogance inspired me to write this poem in his honor.

There was a young Mayor named Kwame
Who loved to play hide the salami
He's a hip-hoppin' clod
On a "mission from God"
And he'll ride out the trouble tsunami
