Here's a "poem" to accompany yours:

Christie, Christie loves red meat
He dishes it out with deceipt
Loud and brash, never discrete
The biggest bully on the Street

Christie, Christie, I'm on a car seat
Sticky and blue with September's heat
We know you feel so elite
You scream you shout and even bleat

Christie, Christie, loves to eat
He's wearing shorts and a soccer cleat
He says to Dems retreat, retreat
But his reward will be defeat


Poem with probability = 0.999928219266

Ms Kelly went under the bus,
For Christie no feathers or fuss,
With malicious intent
Back and forth the bus went,
His own role? Nothing to discuss.

He's ready to be President,
His slanders only seem ill meant,
Pure as driven snow
As his picked lawyers know,
For the White House he's really hell bent.


Poem with probability = 0.999136840326

For Samson, there's no interview,
Bridge contracts? He dealt out a few,
Gen'rous to a fault
For clients no halt,
His open hand is nothing new.

An eminence grise for Christie,
Once Attorney General, we see,
For clients cut rents,
Makes eminent sense,
How tragic Samson had to flee.

No man's an island
entire of itself, and
New York's just the same


Poem with probability = 0.987227779339

Took courage to pardon North, Ollie,
Or was it a moment of folly,
His ethics were high,
It makes viewers sigh,
A man to look up to by golly!


Poem with probability = 0.98215782494

At long last Samson bit the dust

Commute

Long day, hot subway.

"...The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

you've been talking to a lawyer
Are you gonna pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends

Somebody's gonna take the fall
There's your quid pro quo
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go

Here comes a policeman
He won't be sidetracked
He's asking 'bout a smoking gun
He's after the fact..."

"Punish the Monkey," Mark Knopfler.

This seems to be a novel approach – try out regionally without the name star, then come to New York with the star. Break a leg, hoping it works out for everyone!

Tune of Neverland (from that other Peter Pan musical)

They have a place where hits are born
They often get a hand
They’ll go there for their start
But know Matthew taking part
Was never, never planned

They’ll go there towards the end of June
And find out where they stand
But Matthew’s doing Glee;
Having him at A.R.T.
Was never, never planned

He may come toast the show in Cambridge
The script has him really sold
Then pray they will cross that same bridge
Where their last shows really struck gold

For that’s the house where hits are born
And risk is far less grand.
And then New York with Matt
He’ll be joining them for that
Endeavor;
It’s clever and it’s planned

Could tend to me so fondly,
Like a mother's touch?
