Best Congressional Poems

There once was a congressman named Weiner

   Suspected of exposing his 'wiener'

      Of course he claimed no knowledge

         Oh yeah! Claimed girl in college

Why should The Congress not abide


     Or be allowed to set aside


          The laws they promulgate


               Then they'd...

The nation that rules with authority
Of the people and by the people-see
Needs fewer rules and laws
Since we are ruled by bills
Set by a few good men, change the polarity!!

**Inspired by John Freeman's contest-limerick on the subject of congress setting 
rules they don't follow....

Congressional Follies

What’s happening in this world of ours
That use to be ideal
Congress has become a joke
They don’t care what the people feel
Politician's play the power game
Washington’s in disarray
Grown men acting like children
It’s time they went away!

They brought shame upon America
Leading us to the brink
Virtually playing...

I'm still reading Your Resonant Self,
by Dr. Sarah Peyton,
speaking of how contempt
destroys relationships
formerly cooperative
and, thereby, healthy.

Disgust about oneself
and contempt against Other
are interrelated,
like ego and eco,
like Yang and Yin,

"Humans seem to be capable of disconnecting from others
[and our disgusting selves]
on a large scale
or small scale." (p....

Call Congressional

He has been our Lord and Saviour
So why from Him would we want to waiver?
Go on another path not proven or were sent
And not willing to pray or ever repent.

Often do things different then others do
And found ourselves being part of a few
People who...

Then void the footprints so demur,
wherein once walking, my feet pure
now doomed to stalking, faith as cure
the vise I deemed as caulking, minus stir ~

My country, silence balking
truth to serve
retreat while there is lacking
moment's lure!

What then is counteracting
what reserve
the led are never leaders
pretense verve!

To keep...

I watch our liberal congress with little admiration
As they show their family values to our entire nation
They say if you don’t have time for children 
Because you’re in a hurry
Just murder them before they’re born
Then you won’t have to worry
It would be nice just for...

Many writers, poets and academics know how a beautiful
And striking alliteration is in a grammatical, congressional
Contextual and conventional debate or literary debacle
Like: blank blind badly bounced blue bowl
Oops! I meant to quote the beautiful Congresswoman
Jasmine Crockett, word for word, verbatim; man
I can never get it...

Congressional hearing
Yes, I’m listening to your
Non-existent thoughts
Fighting for nothing
Standing for something
And I’m begging to be caught
Understand that you are made up of 
Lines
While you’re hoping to be given more time
Pasted up feelings
Yes, I’m hanging on your
Every dying breath
Fighting for your life
Standing up no where
And you’re...

Congress seething with bitter enmity
Enmeshed in heated meaningless dispute,
Beset with the loss of civility.
What one party vows the others refute
Reasonable voices leaders will mute,
Many bills languish under construction.
The congress is locked up in obstruction
Confusion reigns in the House and Senate,
Some lawmakers soiled by gross corruption,
Younger...

Congressional Cacophony
Written: by Tom Wright
8-30-2019

Politicians think they’re “The Cutting Edge,”
Into mere cacophony their words are turning. 
“Taken out of context” is their primary hedge,
Believing constituents to not be discerning.

But in the face of truth their word often flies,
Preaching “transparency” as it applies to others.
While unto...

Congressional Animosity
Miracle Man
10/17/2023

The thought of compromise
causes many to vent.
Their polling approval today
is at nineteen percent.
They paralyze the country
displaying no shame.
Huge ego’s and power
becomes their path to fame.
From jealousy or competing
feelings are bruised.
Not getting the plum jobs
causes some to feel used.
In every conversation,
“it’s for the American...

I knew you don't go in,
     But I wasn't coming out.
          When you're a fish in the fish bowl
     Going belly up....
