Castles in the Air

One man in his time plays many parts

Oh, how I know Shakespeare’s line by heart

I was Arnold the Avenger, till my debacle last November

Now with speed that doth bewilder, I am Arnold, Master Builder!

Channeling Pat Brown, I want to win renown,

By constructing schools and highways all around the state

With $68 billion down, I’ll win votes from Town and Gown

As Your Infrastructure Gov., I am Arnold and I’m Great!

And then I may Recall my dearest wish of all

This Erector-set direction will win me reelection later in the fall.
