By; Cedric McClester 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 Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017.
