'Twas the summer of "The Wire"
Viewing a street life dire
Spent on Baltimore's corners
With hoppers, knockos, and mourners
David Simon, a genius to admire
With a sawed-off, he stood
An anti-hero with some good
Despite all the shooting
You find yourself rooting
For Omar, the ghetto Robin Hood
"Led" by an ignorant fool
And his party of pro-death ghouls
Nowhere safe from its scars
Not parks, stores, or bars
And sure the fuck not at school
The final season marked a fall
With tales and lies tall
Jumped the shark a tad
But still I'm glad
For any "Wire" seasons at all
Finished the series entire
'Twas full of grit and fire
When they said goodbye to Bug
And Dukey gave him a hug
I cried a little because that's "The Wire"
Last time ...
