I'm shocked so I had to write about it...

We are living in a nutty world and I have just fallen off the edge.

Can You Believe It?

 

Can you believe what our Congress did just the other day?

It leaves me totally speechless with not one word to say.

They’re giving millions to prophylactics in this incentive deal.

I can’t believe I heard it right and I don’t know what to feel.

 

You can lead a horse to water but you can not make them drink.

What in the world are they thinking, I think this incentive stinks.

If you think I’m gonna go and chase these sex addicts down.

To make them use prophylactics, then your brain isn’t sound.

 

If you want this high paying job then you go ahead and apply.

But don’t come to me when someone pokes you in the eye.

For no ones going to listen they have a mind of their own.

So you’ll be out of a job real quick and completely alone.

 

So where will all that money go, if this incentive does not work.

Probably the Prophylactics CEO buys a jet, that stinker, that jerk.

I’m so tired of this Congress making these decisions for me.

I just want to throw up and have a delightful cup of tea.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

isn't it absolutely unthinkable what our politicians can and have done to waste the hard earned tax money we entrust them with? -- taxation without representation -- that's a familiar sounding refrain -- much peace and love to you Bonnie my dear friend -- JMW

No I can't beleive it but have to. I'd like to join you and have a cup of tea also. After I toss my cookies I mean and I don't mean the ones in my computer. I hope the prophylactic decision isn't a sign of things to come but am afraid it may just well be. Who else but our Bonnie May could write a poem like this. Nobody! Bravo my friend.
Hugs,
Marcia

Yes I can certainly understand the frustration and anger that some of these political decisions and bail outs are causing. With so much unemployment, so many homeless, so many hungry and so many seniors and veterans going hungry or without their meds this doesn't make a lot of sense does it.

Bonnie half if not more of the bill is pay back prommises Obama made to get into office. All presidents do it, only this time the stakes are extremely high due to the failing economy.It's too bad we the people,can't organize enough of us to not pay our taxes for a few days in protest of what they are doing. It's sickening! Good protest work Bonnie!...Eileen

It's the same in the UK, fools running the country, middle-class career boys with no vision and little power except to make things worse... all they really care about is getting a big house and the kid's private education. Ha, ha! No wonder I'm in China!

I didn't know what "prophylactics" means, so I had asked my hubby and he explained that to me.

My goodness!!! I think with all the things that needs mending, this is not one of the priorities. I had to laugh at that!!!

Congress: grrrrrrrrr, don't get me started! All for one (the rich) and one for all, that's them all over. Forget about the common man, forget about the Veterans ... Karen's got it right: impeach the whole lot of 'em!

Lady you are on a roll this morning!!! Does Congress really believe that there is going to be some sudden surge in demand for prophylactics tomorrow -- higher than yesterday? Or that the money will get lots more people hired to make prophylactics (who will subsequently be fired when the larger supply of prophylactics is not met by increased demand)? Or are they really increasing the estate of their friend -- the Prophylactics CEO?

We see the billion$ going out but we see no reports of any new constructive projects. Smelleth me a rat?
