Mayor may not

Jewish genius ensures an early place
& you could be Celt if you show your face
the establishment has Parkers aplenty
Built on the bones of many a Jones
the municipal immortal
the guy in charge of construction
The Smith that tends the furnace

A straight stretch of streetwise
fill-ins and fall guys
Eventually reaching Independent women
and just so John So

In training for other controls
or returning from duty

Waiting at tables
