Don't Know Why
By Franklin Price
4/14/2016
Don't know why I waste my time
Writing some politician's rhyme
The subject is an awful thing
For more than one's a ding-a-ling
In the Constitution you're a must
Though your actions seem to gather dust
You never want to cross the aisle
Your voting seldom makes us smile
Don't help the country with your yea
If invented elsewhere vote your nay
Your party knows what is the best
Vote with it and you may screw the rest
No matter voters put you there
You indicated you would care
Ensconced until election day
When you hope again, they'll vote your way
You don't have to worry much
For most of them don't stay in touch
With what you did or how you went
Most have forgotten you were sent
You can hide if House or Senate
Don't have to vote just be repentant
Blame it on all others there
They would not let you do your share
You were junior did not know
Of how things worked or how to go
That's worked for twenty years and now
You'll work for them, that is your vow
