Dr. Seuss wrote about Knox County government? Who knew?!

Sam Venable does a pretty great impression of the Good Doctor:
Mike The Rag was called to task by local folks who were aghast
At thousands in suspicious spending; seemed the spree was never-ending.
Quoth The Rag: “Please worry none. Consider all the good I’ve done!
“Every dollar in this quest, I’ve done my best to well-invest.
“It’s J.J. and his sweet-toothed men who flashed their p-cards now and then.
“Thus John Q. Citizen was billed for doughnuts - glazed and jelly-filled,
“Cinnamon-apple, maple-ice, lemon, cake and pumpkin spice,
“Chocolate-topped and custard cream (which broadened them across the beam).
“Don’t blame me for money woes; I’ve kept my people on their toes.
“It’s yucky lobster that we eat, when John Q.’s buying us a treat.”
“Hey, hold it with the silver tongue!” replied the sheriff, highly stung.
“Your accusations will not fly, for not one doughnut did we buy.
“Don’t link us to your fiscal bouts; our p-card purchase was for Scouts.
“We paid it back and then much more, to buy the uniforms that they wore!”
And on The Rag and J.J. sparred to see which one of them was tarred
By rumors of outrageous cost and opportunities, now lost.
In the meantime, let us meet in drive-thru, booth or counter seat
Of the nearest Krispy Kreme; we’ll pay the bill with our own green.
