The Nain Rouge

What's red and black and scaly, with a laugh just like a horse?
In Detroit environs it's the darn Nain Rouge, of course!
This imp of French extraction is sure blamed for all the woes
that came upon the city while it was in its death throes.
Me, I think that there are more than one Nain Rouge around;
they function in the White House and they cover lots of ground.
There's one that pays my taxes and has never got it right.
Another causes gridlock and delays my airplane flight.
The Senate -- THERE'S a hot spot for the Nain Rouge, yessiree.
They've got more of them there than there are leaves upon a tree!
To placate these red devils you must offer them some graft;
so really, what's the diff'rence between Congress and witchcraft?
