Dear Congressperson

As much as you wish

Bullshit was a dish

Concocted for easy ingestion,

Delectable's not

Exactly the thought

Foremost, following your suggestion.

~

Gadzooks! What a load!

Hey, flush the commode!

I think there might be somethin' floatin'.

Just hold up a sec!

Keep your ego in check,

Lest we weigh all the crap that you're totin'.

~

Man, we gave you the floor,

Now do as you swore,

Or did that oath slip your weak mind?

Perhaps you should stay

Quiet until you pay

Respect to The People, in kind!

~

Stay wary. Keep score,

To be sure that your

Usefulness doesn't suddenly end.

Vacations aren't nice

When you pay the price.

Xeniality need not extend.

~

(Your term need not be re-extendable.)

Zealots for their own gain are expendable.

Author's Note: Yeah, the meter's a little loose and I probably didn't adhere well to any form. Probably not my best poetic piece, but I wanted to try something a little more complex along with the abecedarian theme. It's also not a pretty subject, but it's one I don't often delve into, so I'll chalk it up to spreading my wings.

Thanks for reading!
