Congress At Its Best

It’s that almighty dollar That’s what’s really to blame Including those that were honest As cash now has pushed them to shame They never saw it coming It just slipped right up and took hold And changed a many from half honest folk Whose hearts are now ice cold They thought no one was looking Just a little here and there But then the coffers opened wide With millions for all to share That printing press runs twenty-four As it spits out all that loot And anyone not buying in Well the others just give um the boot There’s not one single poor man Up there making laws these days And once they grab that office It’s in D.C. they want to stay There’s none with a conscience Oh you can trust me on this That’s why I’m bending over my friends And telling congress where they can kiss A housecleaning needs to come alive With tar and feathers by the ton And then make sure they understand truths If for a political job they’ll run

Thanks C.L. and also thank you for the critique. Any advise I get is helpful because I am not what one would call an expert at writing. Thanks again for the support and advice. I hope I can remember all these words of encouragement in the future. Again, thanks.
