Santa's Claws Are Already In Town

‘Tis a week before Christmas
and all through the House
(and the Senate) are stirring
as some Republican's grouse.

Good gracious, it seems,
there is still work to do
which may cause our rep’s
to miss the big ta-do
of vacations and time
spent within their own state,
or another nice spot that they would vacate.

Have you heard these voices
complaining away
that due to their gridlocks
they might miss the slay
of Santa and Rudolph leading the way
into familial bliss above the vile fray?

‘Tis a week before Christmas and all through DC
an ire is growing that we cannot see.
Never fear, some keep on singing those boo-blues
as if they’ve been asked to take off their shoes
in the airport line where they rarely wait
because most of them slide through that telling gate.

But oh, St. Nickel-less soon will be here
for all who have feelings to shed the next tear.
Don’t miss the new sound-bites or you may be out
of the loop of the crazies who twist and shout.

Oh NO, they crow - is there another word to say -
are the stockings all stuffed with our own pork and hay?
Puff huff, well then, it’s time to dump
entitlements we fed into the endless pump.

‘Tis a week before Christmas and all who remain
in the Capital chambers must refrain
from whining and chiming how unfair it is
to do a job where they’re asked to unselfishly give
more than their egos and obligations and negations,
but thoughtful decisions with delayed vacations.
