Notes About The Poem

Another good example of a thinking politician.

The Speaker of the House

The Speaker of the House
By Franklin Price
5/6/2016

The Speaker of the House
Is not the King of all of us
Has no say for the people
Of who's the driver of the bus

Wants to bring us all together
Won't support the one we chose
Not the one who walks on water
I'm sure he's not, I don't suppose 

How can he be so stupid?
A politician there's no doubt
He opened up his foolish mouth
Before he thought it out 

A Republican example
Of the selfish way they think
They'll thirst to death to spite us
Before they'll take a  quenching drink

I don't say we have a savior
In the one we've voted for
But the people have selected
And we've opened up the door

If what we've done is stupid
And the selection made is wrong
He was of, by and for the people
That's the Constitution's song

So Speaker get your head out 
Of your selfish foolish ass
The people now have spoken
At least show a little class
