Funny Politicians

That was quite a scene at the state senate, alright, 
when a lawmaker-turned-thug went out for a fight,
hitting a fellow lawmaker on the side of the head,
though no power in his punch, not requiring Band Aid.

Was that an uppercut, jab, straight or maybe a left hook?
seen from the sideline it wasn’t one for the boxing book!
looked like it was more a harmless pinch, a tiny scratch,
from a sissy imagining he was in a heavyweight match.

Well, it showed exactly what a moron would not do,
especially when losing he is bound to kill and screw you;
for there is really nothing off limits to him, no, none at all,
a dirty fighter for all seasons, whether in summer or fall.
