Before air conditioning, it was understandable why Congress was anxious to leave town
Now with cooling air in office, cars and homes, their bailing disgusts us and makes us frown
More so now with a needed stimulus bill going nowhere with fingers pointing blame
Without a stimulus bill most of us believe both parties merit only shame
We thought we elected leaders when we sent them to Swamp town
Sucking on their paychecks it looks like we’ve elected only a bunch of clowns
This poet believes he knows where the blame lies
Leftist goody bags not related to the pandemic the Senate will quickly deny
Better time spent would be to bring them back
Into a crowed auditorium with social distancing but air conditioning lack
Whack their salaries each day they remain apart
Force them to ditch ad hominem attack and for once try being smart
Keeping Pelosi from her well stocked gourmet ice cream cache
Her discomfort may create a push to through the gridlock crash
Millions of jobless are nearing their last dollars
Ignored by Congress no matter the intensity of the holler
As much a bad taste for kick the can down the road and problems ignore
At least without bells and whistle, unemployment and stimulus checks and aid to schools and business must pass on the floor.
