Super-Duper Committee
by Patrick A Granfors → (All Poetry by Patrick A Granfors)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Our 535 elected congressional officials who were completely incapable of performing their fiscal responsibilities defaulted the task to a super committee of 12 of their inbred brethren. They too are on the brink of utter failure. Well I propose this….…”The Super-Duper Committee” to solve our problems. Who better? I challenge you!

Poem Artwork

Entitlement spending and taxing the rich

Versus spending reductions and hosing the poor

A dozen were chosen to be a jury of peers

The reality is that the peers are all whores

 

The symptoms are showing as we all can see

They all have contracted the government’s disease

Kleptomania is rampant among these sick folks

As our wealth and our future they seize

 

My guys aren’t the brightest but they couldn’t be worse

Comparison to the dozen remains unseen

Relish the comedy they will provide

Because the current joke's definitely obscene

You hit that one out of the park, Patrick. For venality and obstructionism, this Congress takes the cake!

Scary to see how people can be bought off, intimidated and make themselves incapabale of acting. Most of these congress people are millionaires. That probably explains everything.

Not your best poem, but I feel your angst. They days be numbered.

Well written commentary of the event! We are in deep trouble as a nation if we continue to allow the rich and powerful to be in charge.

Peace,
