A lot of people think that the 2008 presidential election will be a "subway event," with ex-New York City Mayor Giuliani topping the Republican ticket and New York Senator Clinton topping the Democrats’. But what if a third party candidate steps into the election fray in 2008, one spoken of often these days—New York City’s present mayor, Mike Bloomberg. What might happen then?

A Hecka Of A Trifecta

Let us ponder now this prospect
What might be this country’s fate
If two gothamite contenders
Top the tickets in ‘08.

And a third five borough hopeful
Sensing here a good main chance
Buys his own place on the ballot
Joins this warped ‘lectoral dance.

Certainly in New York proper
It could prove a fam’ly wrecker
Down deep though the city’s locals
Would applaud this strange trifecta.

It’s in lands west of the Hudson
That they’d find fault, and indeed
Folks there just might simply figure
Our best option? Let’s succeed.
