Bedtime Stories for a Cranky Congress
With as many days off as a Frenchman
And many more times the perks,
On those occasions when you are in session,
Please go the f**k to work.
* * *
The chattering class may revere you
Or revel in revealing your quirks,
But giving interviews isn’t your job here,
So go the f**k back to work!
* * *
A fife and a drum and a tricorn
Are fun costumes for you worthless dorks,
But, if you had the first clue to their meaning, you'd
Get the f**k back to work!
* * *
Really, so now we're your hostages?
What morons elected you insufferable twerps?
Grow a brain -- even just one for the bunch of you,
Then get the f**k back to work!
* * *
Having driven us nearly to ruin,
Constitutional duties you shirk,
We’re just hanging on by our thumbs, here,
So, get the f**k to work!
