The ghost of former Governor
Thomas E. Dewey has submitted
A proposal that he be the subject
Of a poem or at least a poem-like
Assemblage of words. It would be
Easier to comply if he would consent
To being called something
Other than the ghost of former
Governor Thomas E. Dewey.
Also, time has left of him
A well-trimmed mustache,
A throughway, a medal
Given to outstanding assistant
District attorneys, and a white-shoe
Law firm now gone bankrupt.
