It was dark and cold in Texas in the winter of '21

[Atticus]

And Raphael fled to Cancun to have himself some fun.
But, Guvner Abbot stayed in town and promises he made
"Never again will your asses freeze---your lights will never fade!"

And now another year's gone by and we find ourselves amid
More ice and snow and don't you know: a collapsing power grid!
This time though Cruz decided that he'd better stick around
We have for him---and Abbot, too---some sand we wish they'd pound!
