McGLYNN FATIGUE

The library, it's falling apart
the roads, the police station
Hear Mrs. Burke sing "I, Me, Mine"
at a Chevalier celebration

And what about cable subscriber monies?
We're tired of petitioning

A theater in the heart of Medford
which features no air conditioning
___________________________________ 
Faded crosswalk on Spring Street
out-of-towners will find no intrigue
little attraction to come to Medford
all those years of / McGlynn Fatigue
____________________________________ 
Broken roadways, water and sewer
seems we are in need of Captain Kirk
but Mikey is building his firewall
with Stepphie Muccini-Burke 

Wright's Pond rates just went up
it's called financial pollution
Mrs. Burke is part of the problem
Adam Knight needs some / elocution
McGlynn fatigue is most of the problem
November 3 must be the solution

With Junior Dello Russo
They choose to lay siege and beleaguer
With Freddy more of the same problem
another McGlynn fatiguer

You'll find no access television
from this modern-day Emperor Nero
he suffers from a syndrome 
that is named after Vinny Piro

Now use those psychic powers
if you're looking for TV reception
an e mail directly to city hall

immaculate conception

Stepphie looks in the mirror a' thinking
Don't you know JUST who WE are?
Mike gets a puff piece in the Globe
on TV ... / and on NPR
___________________________________
but it's just smoke and mirrors  / that
a reprobate Mayor is orchestrating
as it goes to hell in a basket / you'll see him
hugging his nice bond rating

The Formula that she is running on
it's just about out of her league
and all that baggage she's carrying
is known as McGlynn Fatigue

Mikey he casts a long shadow
with Mrs. Burke on loan, a renter
there's only one cure for McGlynn Fatigue
We must all cast a vote for PENTA




Post Script

Stephanie Benedict Arnold
she says Partners in Progress, that's us!
Muccini sees daylight / only if there's a time
Burke throws McGlynn right 
under the bus
