PUBLIC SERVANTS

What’re they doing in Congress, anyway?
How’re they spending our hard-earned tax money?
What’re they slurring on B-Dubya Parkway
as they spin in limos with their honeys?
How’re they handling their kingly health-care plans,
their million-buck investments piling high?
Who reads them the law, helps them understand
what’ll happen when we invade New Delhi?
How would they feel if we started hoarding
all their funds, forced them to live in landfills?
Treated them daily to Waterboarding
in between yakky sessions on the Hill?
What if we set term-limit revisions
followed by mandated time in prison?
