Mother and Daughter Drinking the Water

http://www.poetrysoup.com/poets/top_100_poets_most_poems_all_time.aspx ?My greatest, favorite poem by far and yet For foolish politicians who want to fret. Mother and Daughter Drinking the Water Those in favor up votes tried to muster Senators opposed presented a lackluster Philabuster What was the kicker and final decider To bill thought they would attach a rider. (Not a Daisy Red one.) They did decide to have some discussions Seeing what would evolve and repercussions From those who were for or else against Pleasing or causing others to become incensed. Bill passage bill was decided by single, old goat Who in favor of whole thing finally had to vote Turns out that both his mother and daughter Were poor people having to drink the water. James Thesarious Hilarious Horn Retired Veteran and Poet RiverSea Plantation Bolivia, NC, USA Hay, Hay What do you say Nothing like good, old USA. Some old member of the Michigan Governor's staff actually said that his mother had to drink and use the water. No wonder he went complaining to the governor. This is also a good education into bill making and breath taking by a bunch of God forsaken politicians. http://www.poetrysoup.com/poets/top_100_poets_most_poems_all_time.aspx
