“There was an Old Senator”

“There was an Old Senator”

By David DiBello

There was an old Senator
Who need not live in a shoe
Fact he had so many homes
Was it many or just a few?
He felt three million dollars
Was just petty cash
And those growths on his skin
Were all part of a rash
He served our country
With dignity and pride
And came home to celebrate
With a girl on the side
He once was associated
With the Keating Five
At a point in his life
When he wanted to run and hide
He thought the economy
Was doing just fine
And all those complaints
Nothing more than a sour whine?
He wants Oil Companies
To drill, drill, drill
While consumers and taxpayers
All foot the bill
Against Bush Tax cuts
But then changed his mind
A balanced budget
Is for a faraway time
And a hundred year war
Is all part of the deal
As Republicans gear for Election Day
And another big steal?
