Lesson cost billions, again/

Bring our banks to heel/

Obama pledges/

Six billion to explore space/

Maybe he’ll find jobs/

Bunning went running/

Taking turns being the prick/

Safe seats pull this trick/

No flash flame – no ice lockout/

Steady repair job/

Paws deep in the jar/

Greed is good, for them not you/

Silk tie double dip/


The magician/

Dulls your sense with trivia/

Theft hides in plain sight/


Millions for culprits/

We obsess on bonuses/

Billions melt away/


Mad bailout lenders/

Masochist taxpayers/

Might end in anger?/

Doctor please speak plain/

Make clear this ache on our land/

Let’s get the dose right/

Compromise seems so quaint now/

Way to go Einsteins/


One track fail mantra/

Tax cuts for the big donors/

Chant on cable news/


Your base eats it up/

Til they lose their job or home/

They will remember/


We tried your way/

It led us to this dark pass/

You want more of this?/


You know we need you/

Not votes, but hearts and effort/

Come, move to the light/


One state, many roles/

Sit in sullen silence and/

We find a walk on/

Gracious victor slapped back/

Repubs earn exile/

McCain on taxes is a tease

Cindy’s cash bought him life’s ease

He thinks you’re dumber

“She’s like a plumber!”

Don’t touch her riches – please?!
