Senate Committee

the committee

has convened

(kangaroos corralled)

the agenda

is set

(scapegoats framed)

the politicos

are preened

(perfect patriots)

hair coiffed

teeth whitened

(fangs sharpened)

correct talking

points bulleted

(minds closed)

puffed chests

perfectly postured

(bombastic bravado)

freedom fighters

stand firm

(Constitution usurpers)

American flag

lapel pins

(sparkling bright)

liberty's spirit

and tolerance

(roundly condemned)

special interests

are watching

(payola earned)

partisan lines

clearly drawn

(democracy doomed)
