No New Car Czar
Let's try a management committee

The news is no new car czar.
    For Gregg that means no second chance
At the nineteen-eighty Lincoln
    favored by most sycophants.

So break it to him gently.
    It just wasn't in the cards
Ford's declined the handouts,
    but does send its regards.

Newt Gingrich was considered but,
    we're told the problem came
About a Buick being put
    in ev'ry ex-wife's name

To get around the tax dodge
    about which Newt still lives in fear,
Never knowing which of their
    attorneys might appear.

No Chevy van for Tom DeLay;
    no camper for Bob Dole,
The Viagra pioneer who'd
    prayed for cruise control.

Forget the Cadillac for Putin.
    Czars can't remedy this mess.
Instead a new committee's
    their prescription for success.
