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
He could be charged with a misdemeanor

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.
Why should The Congress not abide
Or be allowed to set aside
The laws they promulgate
Then they'd learn why voters hate
The special codes behind which they hide

Placed No. 2 in John Freeman's "Citizens or Subjects" Contest - July 2010
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 poker
Gambling the other side would blink
Krushchov once predicted
They would conquer from within
Seems like Congress is abetting them
What they’re doing is a sin!
Let’s send GROWN men to congress
Fold the playpen up for good
Remind them who elected them
Make sure it’s understood
No more playing politics
Getting cozy with pay for play
Get America back on track
Or we’ll take their jobs away!

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 right. I fell short, because I’m not tall
Enough to reach that height. Oh! Many contractual
Agreements are in the works: blank black badly bounced
Blue ball. But I’ll keep on trying over one ounce
Of Vodka, maybe I will finally get it right or correct
Ladies and gentlemen, life is never easy and perfect
However, it’s okay to have fun; politics is abysmal than ever
We hope things will not get worse, but much better.
P.S. Homage to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-Dallas, Texas):
‘Bleach Blond, Bad-Built, Butch Body”.

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 once
To believe in some of the things they said
But they have to call a proctologist
When they can’t find their head
So I dreamed I went to Washington
To ask them to change course
But I found that I was talking to
The north end of a south bound horse
Before congress goes into session
They pass around large receptacles
I thought they were collecting documents
But they were collecting testicles
In order to clean out Washington
The Pied Piper would be nice
Although we voted for human beings
We seem to have elected mice
It’s time to elect people
Who aren’t afraid to say what they think
Than have the same old congress
With the same old stink.
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 thy promise keeping
keep your nerve
you backed away my seeking ~
. . . . . with conserve!
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 simply will refuse to receive
Communion in Church or in God believe.
Either atheist or agnostic we appear to be
Is it God who from sin can set us free?
Can He understand ways we are thinking?
While into big hole world may be sinking.
Guns have been all hands taking their toll
Crimes are committed then things stole
We are such losers everyone can tell
Devil won't even let is come into hell.
Have you been in big battle like this before
Not allowed in heaven or hell anymore
And with ourselves being over obsessional
No wonder they call this being Congressional.

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 begging to be kept
But losing in short time, my friend
For thoughts are always constant
But your body’s bound to end
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 liberals do not want in it.

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 themselves this seldom applies,
Being equally spread would be my druthers.
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 people”.
But what they honestly think
is that we’re mere Sheeple.
Some seem willing
to see government shut down.
As long as it don’t effect
their night on the town.
It appears that animosity
is ruling the house today.
if the Government shuts down
Stop congressional pay!
A special session of Congress
Called
To consider what to do
With the millions
Soon to be billions
Approaching our shores
Arriving from foreign shores
Crossing unprotected borders
Piling up on our city streets
Slowing traffic
Overwhelming our resources
Silencing the din of the city
No one showed up
In Congress
As a Snow Emergency
Had been declared
