Occasional Limerick #20: Headline: Government Shutdown Looms as Congress Fails to Pass Spending Bill

Tonight, if the government shuts

While congress just sits on its butts,

Out of touch and aloof

So many give proof

That they have neither conscience or guts.

It does take a damnable nerve

To skewer the people they serve,

And flatter and cower

Or strut their own power –

The one thing they wish to preserve
