?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.

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.
