About This Poem

Phillip Buster

Phillip Buster could fluster a room -
Full of men whose anger ballooned
     When came his turn to speak,
     Congress snored for a week,
All dreaming he'd peter out soon.



Gail's note: Filibuster - Type of parliamentary procedure.
Right of the individual to extend debate allowing the lone
member to delay or prevent a vote on a proposal. -Wikipedia

    Gail, so clever and fun! Love the assonance of buster and fluster, of room and ballooned, of dreaming and peter. Also loved "congress snored for a week."
