A Witch-Hunting We Will Go

Puritans gather in Congress' hallowed halls, faces glum
   Trampling truth, blowing horns, banging drums
      Of blazing envy, wrath, and sloe-eyed sleaze

Pelosi-Schumer's moralizing minions on their knees
   Digging up dirt on disapproved-of nominees
      Judgment fled to Pandora-box divorce decrees

Careful, all you righteous pols, so sure the public will be pleased
   Most voters care about the economy, not investigative sleaze
      -- And whenever decent folks flee, the door opens for the military

We'll see how this plays out. As has been said. 'May you live in interesting times.' Have a great day my friend.

Interesting comment, David. I find these times to be far less interesting than any I've every lived in. For me, what's happening on the Hill is anathema, just egoists screaming at each other. Much ado about nothing most of the time. Oh, well.

Exactly. Well-stated, Panagiota: 'Food, not fools!' Blessings, gw
