That silly flood made me
Tread all the way down
Here.
Political pensions over.
Spent on pens and ties.
Bipartisanship is basically
A commandment now. They’re
Only there because they have to be, I say.
They would send relief,
Should I wait a week so the
Check don’t bounce? I
Know how that goes. They
Got a profit on us anyway.
They’re checkbook turned to
Chicken scratch, more like chicken ****
We’ll see how that goes.
At least I got time to locate
My house that floated off its
Hinges a few miles south.
*Note: these next poems I’m posting are going to be more political because it’s a project I am writing for a conference.
