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!

Thanks Steven...it's time we the people let our voices be heard instead of being led like sheep to the slaughter. If we fall...the whole world will follow! Bea
