Ladies and gentlemen, please let me begin
I’ll now share my story how I voted in
Another Ashcroft in the Governor’s race
Of all the right stuff he does bring into place.
Jay Ashcroft, you see, has ingredients three
to make a successful Gov’nor indeed.
What are those three things?
My ears they now ring
“Pray tell, Johnny Rooster, please share them with us!”
Ok now, calm down, there is no need to fuss!
I’ll share them all right, cause I’m no “doodle doo”
I’m cocky, I’m shocky, my crow is no “moo”
And all of you voters will see I’m now true
I’ll vote for Jay Ashcroft, I’ll rise in the morn
with the Christian County Trumpet, tooting my horn
to share with you folks why I’m no longer torn
‘Twixt Ashcroft and Eigel, the choice is now clear
Why Ashcroft alone has my listening ear.
He has it, all three things aforementioned here
The first is the money to fund a campaign
the second the ground game to capture the main
The third and most likely ingredient, however
is Name Recognition (how ever so clever!)
For Jay Ashcroft is, the son of another
Who once upon a time was Missouri’s own Gov’ner!
You see, for all the political hacks,
no matter what happens, that’s just the plain facts.
John Ashcroft, Jay’s dad, was a powerful man
Respected by folks ‘cross this wonderful land.
He took many roles, but the public now sees
his best role of all was that of Dad-dy!
