The more we know about how the government is supposed to work, the more we can determine how to vote to make it work.
Congress
By Franklin Price
2/16/2016
Congress there to make the laws
Where bills originate
Then sent off to the president
To find what is their fate
The President may sign them
Putting laws into the book
Or stamp them with a veto
Putting Congress on the hook
The Pres may be negated
In the Constitution's way
Which means that in the very end
The process has its say
Been a long time since this process
Has worked as it was writ
Congress has not worked so well
Even not a little bit
The members are so conscious
That they risk their cushy work
When they vote against their party line
Makes their masters go berserk
We the people do not matter
Parties seldom cross the aisle
There is no bridge between them
Just a defecation pile
We elected all these people
Yes, the House and Senate too
This year let's just vote them out
Replace them with someone new
Let them know we've had enough
We're fed up with their crap
We're here to vote them out of there
To take them off the map
Tell the new ones coming in
To let we the people have a say
It's we who voted to put you there
Now get to work and earn your pay
