THE WINTER OF DISCONTENT

The winter of two thousand and ten,
No satisfaction with its weather and events,
Disastrous storms and ballooning public debt,
Continuing recessions, both here and abroad,
Dissatisfaction with both political parties,
They fail to balance our budgets or do reform,
President Obama can’t stop smoking and spending,
We should take away our money and his cigarettes.

Discontent precedes change and that’s what we need,
Let’s vote out the current members of congress,
Replace them with congressmen, who represent the people,
Then we will get change instead of just talking about it,
Change for the better, that’s what we need,
Responsible people can do it, let’s do the deed!
When elections come this fall, get out and vote,
Next winter, I wish to be more content, let’s repent!

Government for the people, by the people,
Is that too much to ask for? I hope not!

  1. One way to change congress is to change voters.
    After all, voters are one of the constituencies of congressmen;
    And the biggest reason for earmarks, the pig’s ears of politics
    So, voters, stop demanding that your congressmen bring home the bacon,
    Fund every airport, sports stadium and library with tax dollars.
    Do it the old-fashioned way: through subscriptions and donations.
    Want to keep government out of your face?
    Stop taking money and entitlements from WashDC.
