Cigar Chomper

August 21, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles

bails out disgraced politicians
hires underqualified chums
hailed for glories not his

feels his best
                  big moments at the three am card table
                                                 the crony pony stable
               (worst moments, too)

loves a good prank
        (apes Shakespeare in the telling and retaining)
favours light grey sport coats
                (kangaroo suede hush puppies)
enjoys his drinks in a malt glass
                 (knows what "two fingers, neat" means)

carouses cavalier; college honcho with creepy boundaries
loves deal-making; rare to clinch good ones
         (unless involving fish, coins or illicit greenback tips)
assumed a good evaluator of talent
           (hasn't made a good hire in years)
thug swaggered on pier six
                   (now wears the thicker fifties accountant
                   glasses low on the bridge of his nose)

shares road rage
eschews computers
likes handshake deals
eats thick steaks

                    may know how to handle the great ones

is spared the indignities of cuffs, criticism,
                                          firings or mimico orange
