When the snows were their deepest
As experienced now
And the streets were impassable
Without a plow.
There was in the news
At least one thoroughfare
That was plowed and plowed over
To keep it quite bare.
And many did wonder
Why their streets were ignored
While Ed Burke’s was plowed
Five times in his ward.
The officials responded
It wasn’t a perk
To haul all the snow
From the street of Ed Burke.
His cul de sac is
What they call an arterial.
No, it’s where Mr. Burke lives
That makes it imperial.

Nothing new to see here, just keep moving along.
Also, don't forget that he got a special fence to separate his abode from the riff raff at the Orange Line station.* Also that he has his own Illinois Supreme Court justice.

Maddening (by them). Cleverly done (by you).
You don't understand the importance of Alderman Burke.
You think plowing by his home is some sort of perk.
You should know keeping roads open for emergency leaders
Is as important as plowing feeders.
You see, Burke needs to be free to lead the snowplowing work!
There once was an aldercreature from Nantucket...
I don't really have to go further here.
