Goodbye Harry Reid
(at least when you leave
on January third 2017).
We'll remember fondly
your bold policy endorsements
your excoriation
of the Koch brothers
and that time in July 1978
when you chaired
the Nevada Gaming Commission
and a man named Jack Gordon
tried to bribe you
with $12,000
to approve new gaming devices
for casino use
and instead of reciting
your one line
"Is this the money?
as rehearsed
you instead got up
and strangled him.
