Work for that Money, Congress! - A poem of protest about Congress's lack of will to actually do their job!

Once more they fail us,
having no fear of punishments
for their misdeeds and follies.
This is the government we deserve,
for our apathy and own stupid acts.

Once more they leave us
hanging around to see if they can
at least find common ground
on one small thing: a budget.
But only their own raises matter.

Congress is a filthy word
a place of fools and thieves
setting out to bilk us all
of our own hard earned cash
to feather their beds a bit more.

One last time I speak out,
and tell you how to fix this!
Amend the Constitution, Folks!
Make it so they don't work
then they don't get paid...
.. just like most of us!
