Best Congress Poems
When I’m watching the news these days,
I just can’t help but wonder why.
When all of the stories I see,
just makes me want to scream and cry.
They all claim to be an expert,
about how everything should be.
But the only thing reported,
is hate and negativity.
I know I ain’t the smartest man,
to ever shake a wooden stick.
When it comes to the government,
it really makes me so darn sick.
True, we can’t have a perfect world,
of that I’m pretty gosh darn sure.
When our choice on election day,
is between horse or cow manure.
One side says it’ll cost a quarter,
the other wants to spend a dime.
Can’t they just meet in the middle,
and save us all this wasted time.
No one can agree on nothing,
all they can do is poke and chide.
Argue about the simplest things,
even with those on their own side.
I know it should not bother me,
and it really should not matter.
But still, I just can’t help myself,
each time it just makes me sadder.
Seems like everyone nowadays,
wants their 15 minutes of fame.
Looks like the one way to get it,
is to find someone else to blame.

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.

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
Trump wants to build a wall
Between Mexico and us
I can't help but wonder
Why he's making such a fuss!
Cartels were building tunnels
Underneath our border fence
When Trump was groping females
And Pence sought common sense
Though Congress say Trump's thinking
Is reasonable and sound
We know they'll find the workforce
From los peons underground!
"Progress vs Congress"
by: Eric L. Boddie
I was driving along
Only able to hear my own voice
And I got a seat belt ticket
What happened to my freedom of choice
This is the greatest nation
And just for the sake of my rights
More than blood has been shed
And that alone puts me in the fight
But not the way you think
Because I AM, the REAL NUMBER EIGHT
And in this land, I CHOSE HIM FREELY
That is why America is great
He Gave me the right to choose
And America made it a law
But they see Him as money
America's greatest flaw
But what keeps this nation running
Is far more valuable than wealth
It is the secret of America
Each generation will lead itself
No matter the destination
The people will decide
Now, that's not always the case
But we still go along for the ride
Because we Live by the principles
For which so many have died and fought
But is it worth the cost of Life
When elections can be bought
Empowering leaders without direction
Some of which are not fit to follow
America has changed through many years of yesterday
I wonder how it will be in those of tomorrow
all congressmen asked
the forensics team to view
their hard-drive data
There was a Spaceman named Zog who wrote in his blog.
That the Americans were falling apart.
There was no law and order
to protect their own border.
While the Congress was busy sniffing their farts.
*For anyone interested, I will be posting on my homepage my cartoon 'Bob's Your Uncle.' A new one will appear every second day.
Politicians are pompous jokes;
not often are they just plain blokes.
They legislate pure ignorance,
while folks prosper on common sense.

The Thoughtless, Heartless, Do-Nothing Congress
Another day of carnage
In the USA
Little children
Eight, nine, ten and eleven years old,
Their life cut short,
By a mad person
With an automatic rifle
What will we all do?
Every week
More innocent people are
Victims of violent shootings,
Where is the Congress?
The Thoughtless, Heartless, Do-Nothing Congress
Children died at Sandyhook in Newtown, Connecticut,
Innocent babies,
Only five or six years old,
Never to celebrate another birthday,
To hug their Mom and Dad,
To watch TV,
Go to a ball game,
Go see a movie,
All over forever,
Now the same for
These children in Uvalde, Texas,
Never to play ball again,
Or learn to dance,
Or play a musical instrument,
Or wait for Santa Claus,
All over forever,
Where is the Congress?
The Thoughtless, Heartless, Do-Nothing Congress,
People in Buffalo going about
Their lives,
Doing their grocery shopping,
Even planning for a birthday party,
But a madmen came
And now they’re gone forever,
Innocent people in a movie theater
In Denver, Colorado,
Murdered by an insane gunman,
High-school students in Florida,
A Congregation at a Taiwanese church
In California,
Enjoying their luncheon,
A deranged gunman
Came to their church
With a gun,
Where is the Congress?
The Thoughtless, Heartless, Do-Nothing Congress,
We don’t like to think mean thoughts,
But if it were someone dear to them,
A law would have been passed already,
But
We the People
The Average Joe and Lucy,
The teacher, the secretary, the store worker,
The hairdresser, the carpenter, the librarian,
The aviation engineer, the truck driver,
The fireman, the policeman,
The dentist, the doctor,
The veterinarian,
The writer,
The singer,
The actor,
The artist,
And the plumber,
The electrician,
The salesman,
The garbageman too,
No matter if you
Are white, black, Hispanic,
Asian, or Native American Indian,
We the People
Don’t seem to count anymore
Where is the Congress?
The Thoughtless, Heartless, Do-Nothing Congress
We the People
We the People
We the People
We the People
We the People
Celine Rose Mariotti
A rare Congress of Emotions was organized in a village
Called to attend were Anger, Love, Sadness, Peace
Others were Hatred, Grief- all to debate on Justice
“No need of a Chairperson”, Anger put a ruling.
Grief stood up. He wept and wept and talked not.
Rising in support, Peace said, “That is justice to Grief.
Each time Love wanted to talk no chance was given
Serious argument broke out but no one listened
“Stopping Love to talk is not fair”, Justice shouted
Over the table jumped Anger. He shouted and shouted.
Freely, Anger expressed himself as everyone kept quiet.
Eventually Peace stood up and greeted, “Peace be with you”
Most members refused to respond due to Anger’s influence
“Open your hearts to the world”, Peace preached.
“Take respect of each one’s rights as vital for Justice to be here
Ignore nobody in society, no hatred, no anger, no grief.”
Over there Sadness said, “That is genocide to our members”.
Not me, Hatred said, you love me not, I hate you much
Silently, Love whispered love, love releasing a Dove to each heart
Hatred and Anger rose up holding swords
Every member got scared as Justice fled
Love’s arm was cut off by Anger
“Danger!!! Love shouted as Peace dashed with him to exile
You're their cup of tea, their bread and butter
A real cash cow, drink straight from your udder
If you want laws passed,be a dentist
They'd rather be your ventriloquist
Bickering over minimum wages
Taking their cues from a criminal's pages
You can't pass go and you can not trespass
Unless you are a member of Congress
deem on Mammon
and think it true
we're all too stupid
to think it through
I
its funny how words contain stories
call them by the synonym, mysteries
SLAVE also has an antidote: SALVE
where SALE of humans rendered some HALVES
of what Nature's God had given ("inalienable rights")
I wrote before: SAVIOUR, spelled so,
has within its letters: 'OUR VISA' to Heaven
Kids have often said DOG and GOD are close
Or "I" am in the middle of a PiG (I am not!)
Just the Letter "i" is in the midst of letters P, i, G
So, as you awake or prepare for work, lunch, snack, or sleep
I suggest a combo of games help redirect, change our focus
From the issues of the day (We had no piped water for 10 days, and)
In sunny South Africa, LOADSHEDDING means power is rationed
So we have six hours a day of cold food and overworked diesel generators
In a digital nation, where banks do not offer much cash: phone
Or internet banking, the order of the day - and no one told my Government!
Remember then, SHALOM SHALOM - as you think of home
Whether on earth or heaven, we need lessons on keeping sane and sad-free
CATS FOR CONGRESS
Are these politicians just talkers?
Some seem like outright mockers!
Why not cats? How divine!
They can balance fine lines.
Either cats or tight-rope walkers!
