Eight Days of Work

by Mr. Ed — Read all 1,530 poems by Mr. Ed

Friday, October 10, 2014


Poem Artwork
-->Inspired by Tom Hyland’s Congressional Rant:

Our Hard Working ‘Leaders’ Have Worked
A Total of Eight Days Since July,
And They Are on Vacation Once More

Ooh, we needed a vacation
Guess you all know that it's true
We hope you know how hard we work
And that we do all of this work, for you

Although none of us were here at all in August
We were all here in September for eight days
And that eight days of work, was grueling
Hope you can see, that we had to get away

We only make $174,000 a year, plus benefits
So we need all the vacation time that we can get
That eight days of work in September, was so brutal
We couldn’t wait to get out of here on our private jets

Now, we’re all on vacation again until mid-November
But we will all return here after that, to work for you
All we need are your votes, in the November elections
And we promise to give eight more days of work to you


Eight days of work
Because we love you
Eight days of work
Is enough to show we care

Ooh, we need your votes now
Guess you all know that it's true
We really hope you vote us all back in
And we’ll give eight more days of work
To You!

(Then, Of Course, We Will Need Another Very Long Break for The Holidays)

Your factcheck is so accurate that it leaves me so pissed I will probably review this like a kid with a snit on. But...anyone who doesn't see this congress (the majority,both parties) as a bunch of sniveling adolescents opting for class president, while their real job is to propose and pass governance for a country, are but lazy emotion prone animals. Our congress is a pathetic bunch I hope I never meet. They are whores of the worst kind, willing to allow penetration for anything that raises their image as an asshole. Oh...and that $174,000 is but the tip of their mud colored iceberg. doG I am so unimpressed with our system. Where the hell went a once conscious country?

Awww, Ed, there you go again insulting the rich and powerful...the only thing that will get you is forced vacation or retirement while they stay high on their hills of money & power...they will get theirs when they are judged...what goes around comes around...-e-

Politicians across the globe are all as bad. The English are spoilt kindergarten kids - The French are mostly Hitler wannabees with chip on their shoulder... Every country has a similar gripe. We all need a very different regime.

Love the musical element :-)

Great music background! Yeah, it's true, eight days of 'work'? I think not. Eight days of 'BS'! Well said, Mr. Ed!

Nice touch Ed. The music and the poetry is in GREAT taste!

Yes, I like to be nice but I also like to be honest too.

This tells it like it is with a BOOT to kick the freeloaders out!

Pelosi is first cause she is the worst! The rest will follow suit.

Because they really and truly deserve the BIG BOOT!

Amen my friend....
