Welcome to My Poetry Site
Like Lucy with Her Football
You did it again, Senatorial
Democrats. How naïve!
You keep falling for the tricks
McConnell has up his sleeve.
Long ago a funding bill
Could easily have been sent--
One with bipartisan support--
To the president.
Republican leaders chose, however,
To play a game, and that's
How they let a shutdown occur
And then blame Democrats.
True, the president's wishy-washy
Feelings aren't always clear.
It doesn't help when bigoted voices
Are whispering in his ear--
Voices of Kelly, Steve Miller,
Iowan Steve King,
And Tom Cotton from Arkansas,
All with a racist sting.
And so for now the fate of the Dreamers
Is a question mark.
You think McConnell won't continue
To leave them in the dark?
McConnell waits--like Lucy with her football--
For you to run up and kick it.
Will you fall for the trick again,
Or tell him where to stick it?
