There once was a Mayor named Tony...

I realize that most of the readers of MayorSam are insanely busy important people who just happen to get a chance to peek at the site once or twice a week in between top-level meetings in their CHE corner offices.

However...if there are any readers out there with spare minutes on their hands, they might want to enter the DowntownNews's limerick contest.
Fancy yourself a poet? Then put your rhyming to the test in the Los Angeles Downtown News Limerick Contest in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Just fill out the form on page 15 with a five-line verse and send it to us. There's just one catch: Your lucky limerick has to focus on Downtown and its people, places or things. We'll print our favorite entries in the Monday, March 13, issue, with the best earning a pot of gold. Actually, make that a $50 gift certificate to Ciudad. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7.

The contest in fact seems perfectly tailored to Samistas, who demonstrate their creative writing skills here hourly. Don't forget to share your best efforts with the Mayor.

I'm working on one myself. Rhyme away, dum-dums!

There once was a mayor named tony ,

who ate a lot of macaroni,

One day he awoke

his mouth full of smoke

too much fire from the chile in the pasta had escaped through his throat.

The moral of the story is when eating carbs at night

don't go to bed
until
you take your anti-acid out right or with the light a burning will wake you wih a fright

There once was a mayor named Tony
Who rode into town on a pony
He thought he had scored
A new slave for his board
Her name was Garcia, his crony

There once was a mayor named Tony
Who was blessed by the Cardinal Mahoney
He said, thanks for the mass
But I'm really bad-ass
Too bad the Church cannot clone me

There once was a mayor named Tony
Who needed to speak in Detroity
Said to Ameriquest
I'll take any request
Just give me a flight and you'll own me

There was once a Lady from Cyber

who once dreamed of Mayor Tony beside her,

while singing his praise,

she awoke from her daze,

and asked "Where the hell are the
80 NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES!"
