Oh, what a spectacle! What a grand show!
Two titans collide where ambitions grow.
On one side stands Charlie, the budget crusader,
A former cop turned spreadsheet invader.

On the other is Jen, the baker of lore,
Armed with a rolling pin and trying to settle the score.
She kneads out her plans with a frosted finesse,
But her doughy agendas just add to the mess.

He nitpicks expenses, she nags with her charm,
Both stirring the pot with their own brand of harm.
A nickel too much? A muffin misplaced?
Each finds a scandal, no crumb left untraced.

Debates erupt like flour in the air,
Taxes and tarts fly with equal despair.
He barks about pensions, she preaches on pies—
Their visions as murky as frosting-stained lies.

Charlie, the quitter, now wants a new chance,
To patrol the budget with a spreadsheet dance.
Jen, twice ousted, still rallies her base,
Rolling her dough and her goals into place.

Will Charlie the blusterer secure his rule?
Will Jen the returnee convince us she’s cool?
Two rival recipes, but the flavor’s the same—
A bitter campaign in the village’s name.

So grab your donuts and tea—
The Great Mayor Showdown’s as messy as can be.
And when the dust settles, and ballots are in,
The village still wonders: did anyone win?
