I think we need an award for politicians, in Washington, who are not performing as expected by we the people. This award, the brass star, would tag them for what they are so we will use our votes for others who may give a damn..
Brass Star Award By Franklin Price 06/10/2020 For gallant service to our country Are the bronze and silver star Given for above, beyond And far above the bar I'm hereby recommending A new star, made out of brass, Reserved for those in Washington Above, beyond, the normal ass Military not considered For this medal, we won't toast Must be ones we have elected To some most prestigious post The President can qualify Also the House and Senate The executive branch and congress And anyone who's in it Some things we must consider When recommending this award Most important, taking actions, We the People can't afford Following the party lines When they make so little sense Proposing laws of little purpose Never straddling the fence Not reaching out across the aisle, No good, if not invented here Drinking from a champagne glass When they could have had a beer Now that they're elected And they're up there on their own And don't listen to the people Who have put them on the throne If you think, they think, they're royalty They will surely qualify For Brass Star, with TP clusters, As we vote their ass goodbye.
