O. promised to close Gitmo back in two-thousand-eight,
And like so many promises he sure is running late
His Gitmo Czar was no help, for his Czars seldom are.
So it remained they'd stay detained not here but way afar.

Then Senator Dick Durbin came riding to his aid.
He saw an opportunity - a great deal to be made.
Just sell them Thomson Prison was his ingenious ploy,
And bring the mad jihadists to the state of Ill-a-noy.

So move those inmates northward - three thousand we'll employ,
And bring the great recovery to the state of Ill-a-noy!

The sale of Thomson Prison means millions from the start,
And lots of jobs created - so don't be faint of heart!
Just think of it as toxic waste dumped in your backyards.
Your grandma and your teenager can become prison guards.

Dick calls it "competition" with several other states,
This big attempt to cash in and lock up these reprobates.
They only see the dollars to keep their pockets lined.
It's pure Chicago patronage - a new and loathesome kind.

So herd those inmates northward. Recovery we'll enjoy.
Make gold off these jihadists in the state of Ill-a-noy!
