Beatrice Boyle Poet Rhyme

Congressional Follies

Congressional Follies

What’s happening in this world of ours
That use to be ideal
Congress has become a joke
They don’t care what the people feel
Politician's play the power game
Washington’s in disarray
Grown men acting like children
It’s time they went away!

They brought shame upon America
Leading us to the brink
Virtually playing poker
Gambling the other side would blink
Krushchov once predicted
They would conquer from within
Seems like Congress is abetting them
What  they’re doing is a sin!

Let’s send GROWN men to congress
Fold the playpen up for good
Remind them who elected them
Make sure it’s understood
No more playing politics
Getting cozy with pay for play
Get America back on track
Or we’ll take their jobs away!
