Twas a night 2015!
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the House,
Tea’d lawmakers were scheming as quiet as a mouse.
Bills for voting rights, equal pay, jobs, assault weapon controls tucked in “NO!” votes with care
In hopes that by the 2016 election, they will just disappear.
NRA, corporate, and radical right wing lobbyists nestled snug in their beds
While visions of controlling Congress danced in their heads.
2016 GOP candidates caroling fear mongering raps
Had just settled down for a long one year nap.
When out on the White House lawn there arose such a clatter
They awoke from their comas to see what was the matter.
Away to their campaign coffers they flew like a flash
No tax increases for the wealthy, Tea’d lawmakers protect their stash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave a luster of limbo to immigrants below.
When what to their wondering eyes did appear
But a non lame duck President who continues to care.
The greyed but not beaten driver was so lively and quick
Tea’d lawmakers were blinking -
This must be a trick!
More rapid than eagles executive orders and international agreements came
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
On historic 200 nation agreement to lower carbon emissions!
Now to reestablishing Cuban diplomatic relations!
On historic international deal to end Iranian nuclear proliferation!
On landmark trade agreement to uplift American workers and businesses in our nation
To the top of opening the doors towards immigration reform!
Now criticize away! Block away! Sabotage away all!
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So, up to the debates and propaganda networks Tea’d 2016 GOP candidates flew
With a Grinch-filled bag of misinformation and Pinocchio-sized anti-Obama commentaries -
What else is new?
And then in a twinkling, they heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each partisan polled anti Obama/anti-Muslim spoof.
As they drew in their heads and turned around
The GOP Trumpeter came with a bound.
Dressed all in FOX and CNN manufactured fur from head to foot
Preaching the GOP’s secrete agendas tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of anti-Obama finger pointing for the GOP Congress’ refusal to govern -
No tact!
They all looked like peddlers just opening their packs
Their lies – how they twinkled! Their fake scandals, so merry!
Their right wing terrorists blinders like roses, thorns sticking Americans -
How leery!
Their droll little mouths were drawn down row by row
And the absence of voting rights legislation was as empty as snow.
The stump of their complaints with no solutions – ideas stuck in their teeth
Campaign smoke and mirrors encircled their heads like a wreath.
They had broad, fake smiles and Koch-filled bellies
That shook when they deceived, like a bowl full of jelly.
And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself;
A wink of their eyes and a twist of their heads!!!!!
The Exorcist sequel! Hide! Under the sled!
They spoke not a word, but went straight to work,
Filling all their campaign stockings with coal, then turned with a jerk.
And laying their finger aside their Pinocchio-sized nose
And giving a nod, towards do more of nothing they rose!
The President sprang to his sleigh – to his team gave a whistle
More Americans are working
Unemployment is down
More Americans have health insurance
Despite Tea'd GOP frowns
Dependence on foreign oil is down
And gas prices too
Our deficits have shrunk
Bin Laden and ISIL masterminds too
Businesses are creating more jobs since the 1990’s pace
Wages grew faster than any time since the recovery from the recession race
Jump started Immigration Reform
Manufacturing has grown
And the Dems and I did it all on our own!
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight –
Happy Christmas to all!
And to all a good night!
