Notes About The Poem

If congressmen were doing their jobs, and were serious about their concerns for the future of the United States of America, the would not quit, but stay and fight. They should never be able to get another job; not even as the greeter a Wal-Mart.

Quitters On the Hill

Quitters on the Hill
By Franklin Price
10/25/2017

What's with you quitters on the hill
You tout that you have had your fill
With your future there  in doubt
You quit before we vote you out

For years you haven't done a thing
Just wanted us to kiss your ring
The people now are coming back
Get out now before you're sacked

Blame it on the POTUS man
It's evident you're not his fan
It's all your fault that he is in
The way you've worked is just a sin

To cling to hope for this great land
The voters had to take a stand
Trump has made the most of it
If he gets fools like you to quit

Polls say you're out anyway
Grandstanding won't help you today
Your whining will help you no more
Don't have your ass slammed by the door

As you go into the night
And you think that you are right
You would stay the course and fight
To bring us from the dark to light

Congressmen should make the rules
We'll no longer be your fools
We're  not sorry for you're plight
Hope your replacement gets it right
