Exemption

Congress has a unique way

      Of telling us how to live each day

      They bemoan the problems faced by us all

      Then pass a law when the roll is called      

      Exempting themselves, to our dismay

Excellent observations of "politics as usual," Daniel. We'll remember in November! Wishing you success in John's contest. Love, Carolyn
