Answer To the Vietnamese Enemy

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.

New Song

Bill stands firm to overturn DOMA
Trying to avoid Congressional Coma
Bring in "Supreme" gavels strong
The fate of Love sings new song!

Impossible

Congressional rules made it clear:
All speeches must rhyme to the ear.
This tying each tongue,
No mud could be slung,
So pols all went out and drank beer.

Premium Member Testing - 1, 2, 3 - Testing

   Forget cognitive testing
      How about a basic economics test

    to separate responsible Congressional
      and Presidential candidates from the rest

Touch and Clutch Much

Touch and Clutch Much

There are those men who like to touch;
Happy when women are in their clutch;
Definitely endowed,
And very proud,
And are always enjoying it very much.

Premium Member Political Quote

Political Quote By: Miracle Man 9/11/2021 It’s always, “to benefit the American people,” Spewed at the lowly, from congressional steeple. A favorite line, that politicians oft use. They speak the right things but neglect and abuse.

Contrast Comparisons

Comedic contortionist claims clubfeet;
consider carefully, circus clowns cheat.
Chico chipped Carson City's carved concrete
clumsily chiseling cheap cardboard containers.
Charlatans can calm capitol complainers
confounding Congressional campaigners.

Premium Member Conservatively Speaking

A tapestry of conservatives

Laced with blistering conversations

Gather in futile congregations

That lacks any considerations

Delusions on baseless conclusions

Pretending to be congressional

With a desire to spawn confusion

Blind to all things constitutional

Premium Member State of the Union Address - At Times Maudlin, At Times Macabre

  
    Spectacle of a Trumpian stump speech:
    Showmanship at times maudlin, at times macabre

    Purple Hearts aplenty, Congressional Medals of Honor
    Tales of American heroes to stir even the yawners

Congressional Partying

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.

Premium Member Congressional Expose'

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

Governor Newsom

May we return to a congressional based observation of calendared appointment of statement in goals ordered by legislation avoiding obstruction of speech tonight?

May the state exist legally in budgeted measure of life's document as legislated from the Senate by end of next 48 hours in delegation of staff?

Medal Of Honor Day
March 25,2025

today is a day for heroes
a time to salute the bravest
the ones who went beyond the call
put life and limb on the line
for their comrades and country
let us give thanks
for those Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine
and Coast Guard veterans who
have earned the right to
wear
The Congressional Medal of Honor

Premium Member American Politics

The Republicans want a particular thing,
The Democrats all want another,
The President tries to put his two cents in,
The Independents would, but why bother?
Republicans will tear a referendum to bits,
Democrats will, of course, shout its praises.
The issues on which they unanimously agree
Involve session adjournments and congressional raises.

Premium Member Congressional Oversight

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

As In the Requisition the Proceedings

Directly Drafting Article in Daylight 


As a result, neither side is willing to give an inch in the standoff, now the fifth-longest shutdown in the country's history

A single edit and we exist.

Clerical pennies.

Regression lines the mold 

First articulate article in origin of Congress 
To congressional act
Currency becomes framers opening

You first?

Premium Member Congressional Immunity

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

Premium Member House of Fools

Tea party's house entertainer
Is speaker complainer Boehner
Citizens are strained
Anger's hardly contained
But he's on a right wing retainer


Author's note:  Gerrymandered congressional districts have brought us house neo-cons who answer to some very foolish people.  Now, these folks will stop at nothing to make their special interests even richer while the rest of us get poorer.

And also the army inspector general 

Allow article of legislated fold to the company 

That is to history a military companies issuance 

Also this issuance of assembled congress
Issued legislation 

Legislation signed is congressional directed spending 

A law for the people by the people
Not to be obstructed by assembly of state outsiding a "lobby"

Premium Member Pelosi and Her Bad News Bears


Ah, dear Mrs. Nancy Pelosi,
Trying her best, with feckless,
Congressional cubbies.
Doing their best to make her
life anything but rosy.

Pick up that gavel and swat 
their obnoxious butts off!
Don't let them drag you and
your party through their dumb,
showhorse stuff!

Ostracize and censure them,
right now!
Before they blow up the DNC.
And worse..the entire country!
Ker-Pow!

Congressional Conserve

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!

Premium Member Congressional Confusion

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.

Premium Member Congressional Cacophony

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 Hearing

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
