Short Congressional Poems

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....

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

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....

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.

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.

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.

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...

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....

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

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

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....

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!

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!...

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 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...

They'll pray for a thug
a murderer and thief
a lost dog-a rare fish 
but never the police...
They'll pray for 
a two timing ho ho
a mad clown on death row
but you'll not hear a peep
when its comes to the po po.
They'll pray for a pedophile
and the criminally insane
but never to those that
walk the beat for our sake.
They'll pray for harlots and addicts
senatorial warlocks and congressional witches
but when it comes to the police
you'll hear only crickets- - -  - - -...
