These are three examples of the style of compositions Mr. Begley has written over the years.
1) BENSEN OUT QUAILING !!
You're no Jack Kennedy, he said
And I replied, thank God that's so
I'm home every night since I wed
On plane trips, I've no girls in tow
Tombstones don't vote in my elections
As in Texas, Illinois
No bay of pigs cries for corrections
Did not start the war with Hanoi
I never said all this, of course
Your cheap shot shook me to the core
Replying from a kinder source
That was uncalled for, Senator !!!
2) ZSA ZSA'S GABOROSCOPE
Zsa Zsa Gabor, I love your macha
Zsa Zsa Gabor, why did he catcha
Booze on the seat, your license expired
The sidewalk, your seat
Your pink wrists were wired
Caused them to bleed, and he would not stop
But I know you'll succeed and marry the cop.
3) JOB MAINTENANCE
Politicians love their pensions
Society full of tensions
Conferences about troubles
Things go wrong, their power doubles.
These problems we would never face
If THEY weren't there in the first place.
