It’s neither a trick nor a treat
When students are yelled at and beat
Now twice in this week
Attacker’s critique:
The choice of where he put his meat

To make the harsh words go away
The treat part came early for Cheh
It seems Peter Nichols
Escapes from his pickles
By sending a tasteful bouquet

Some costumes seemed like a cliche
While others were downright risque
Then Fenty appeared
He watched and he cheered
And stole the show in his beret

The quite disingenuous ring
Of Jackson today quoting King
The Bishop got trounced
As Catania pronounced
A history lesson with zing

-D.L.

He started it in ’58
When dentistry wasn’t his fate
Then it seemed silly
A place to buy chilli?
Yet clearly he’d made something great

On U St when jazz was the thing
Musicians would eat and then sing
The great Nat King Cole
Devoured his bowl
And business was good until King

The loss of the great MLK
Brought riots and bad disarray
The grief came to blows
But Ben’s didn’t close
And still remains strong to this day

The details are not looking purtee
As the count of arrested nears thirty
It seems that Kamus
Was one of a few
Involved in these taxies so dirty

It stinks to be one of those guys
Who’s doomed to a funny demise
While riding a scooter
Hit by a commuter
Who rudely forgot his goodbyes

Jim Graham’s had a pretty tough year
As wrongdoing draws ever near
Though charges describe
the Chief of Staff’s bribe
The Councilman stays in the clear

The manager locked up the grate
Not knowing the next train was late
We’d all be forlorn
If trapped at Van Dorn
But jeepers, these folks are irate

On Sunday Fiesta DC
Brought cultures together with glee
My neighbors said Hola
And chugged Inca Kola
Depositing tons of debris
