When substance doesn’t suit their diet
Their retort is, “Why not stage a riot?”
Let’s observe them closely as they try it
On the chance that we the people buy it
They’re real good at attacking the process
While ignoring the substance more or less
Cuz the walls are closing in on them I guess
So they hope that their tactics spell success

***-rushing in on a closed door session
While government officials make confession
Might meet with the president’s blessing
Though the exercise seems adolescent
What was it that they were hoping to prove?
Aren’t  they the ones who perfected that move?
How quickly they forgot about Bin-Ghazi
And I’m speaking in English not in Farsi

Closed door sessions are done all the time
Secret testimony is not a crime
And trying to make it so is a tall climb
But ignorance is bliss when it’s sublime
They think of us all as being myopic
So frequently they try to change the topic
For heaven’s sake, I wish that they would stop it
Like a spill on a grocery store aisle, at least mop it

The Republican Caucus is a motley crew
But that ain’t no new news, I know you knew
I don’t judge ‘em by what they say, but by what they do
And if you knew like I do, you would too
Let me give you a tip, bet your hunch
Because in my view they’re one sorry bunch
The Democrats most likely will eat their lunch
Let’s watch them as they sit down and munch
