The man in the House said,
"You stole my right to speak."
But the woman in chambers
said, "I want to be the Iron Lady."
.
The people standing outside
the ropes cried, "Foul!"
Shutting down free healthcare
is like closing the jails
and letting everyone out.
No. It's not.
.
The main speeches were awesome
in the poetic sense. Tell me what
a furlough is. Rhetoric is sent out
sweetly to receptive ears.
.
The free time will make everyone
take up knitting scarves for the troops
returning home. At least there is still
running water to hand wash uniforms
and the electricity will remain
on for now.
.
We actually may iron all the medals
and ribbons for integrity, fidelity,
and faithfulness to acknowledge
those unloosing the parade confetti.

Can't borrow your way out of debt, Auntie and Unce Sam. Eventually, somebody had to say halt! A long shut down might be a wake-up call to the country's citizens. A short war meant it was a bluff, we didn't mean to scare so many people. Imagine the phone calls and e-mails pouring in to D.C. I'll settle down soon. I promise. It was a Sam Slam, s'all. Be well. slc
