Ode to Sir Peter Anderson, Secretary General of the Conch Republic
Peter came to Key West
On a full moon night,
His sole purpose
Was fun and delight
*
He led a group
Called the Conch Republic,
And I’m sure everyone
Is better for it
*
Our passports were as real
As Monopoly money,
Some folks traveled using them
And that’s pretty funny
*
Saint Peter and Sir Peter
Will make a great heavenly pair,
They won’t be playing harps
It’s conch shells blowing that you’ll hear
*
He called me Sir Lancelot,
First Knight of the Republic,
I won the KW Poetry Slam
With my poem based on it
*
My running for Governor
Made him very proud,
“Let’s win this for Sir Peter!”
Now, shout it out loud!
*
Who will succeed him?
We’ll have to wait and see,
Finnebar or Frank, the Magician
Is alright with me.
