Written by Gail DeBole Phillip Buster could fluster a room - Full of men whose anger ballooned When came his turn to speak, Congress snored for a week, All dreaming he'd peter out soon. Note: Illustrated in Coloring within the Limericks available on Amazon.com and other retail websites. Gail's note: Filibuster - Type of parliamentary procedure. Right of the individual to extend debate allowing the lone member to delay or prevent a vote on a proposal. -Wikipedia

Gail, so clever and fun! Love the assonance of buster and fluster, of room and ballooned, of dreaming and peter. Also loved "congress snored for a week."
