They had seven years to prepare
To abolish Obamacare
So there’s enough blame to share
Cos’ in the end how did they fare?
And ya know they went for broke
But their efforts went up in smoke
Now they’re the **** of the joke
For tryin’ to take it away from folk

At the cost of the average man’s health
They were tryin’ to increase the wealth
Of insurance companies by stealth
And the rich if nothing else
So let Obamacare be hailed
Cos’ they plotted planned and failed
Though the Freedom Caucus is assailed
The president shouldn’t be bailed

They put together their A team
And tried everything it would seem
From a whisper to a scream
A Twitter attack to a meme
See it hadn’t been scored or scaled
So in the end God Almighty prevailed
When no one could be blackmailed
Ultimately the whole thing failed

In their districts constituents arose
And some elected officials froze
Cos’ come election time everyone knows
It’s the recalcitrant one who goes
So the president could say what he wanted
But the membership remained undaunted
None of ‘em wanted to be haunted
By a vote that wouldn’t be vaunted
