From Congress a from letter we did receive;
A dense skull;

And as usual, we found them hard to believe.

Politicians are pompous jokes;
not often are they just plain blokes.
They legislate pure ignorance,
while folks prosper on common sense.

That became a desire which was burning;

Find out why Congress again is adjourning.

Ah! A beautiful day! Blue skies!
Sunlight, glistening, drips from the sides of leaves!
But no president, no congress, no media hears
silent screams fall on deaf ears.
Shall we make this audible?
