LET'S PLAY GOVERNMENT
by Bill Kochman
08-28-2024
Okay, let's all play at government,
It is really going to be lots of fun,
Make a bill, hold our committees,
They will think we get things done.
Yet if we look much more closely,
The situation is not what it seems,
Yes, those pols look rather busy,
Certain bills are reams and reams.
But ... because of partisan politics,
Making bills can be quite a chore,
So while they appear hard at work,
Many will end up dead on the floor.
All that wasted time, energy, money,
But, alas, nothing really came of it,
Thus if they cannot get things done,
Maybe they should pack up and quit.
Then there are special committees,
They try to bring people to account,
But after exchanging so many words,
Quite often to nothing it will amount.
Yes, after putting on a political show,
The questioned just walks away free,
So why even bother to make a case,
The circus are you beginning to see?
Performers are found in both rings,
He is just a shrewd career politician,
While you think he gets the job done,
He is in fact just one crafty magician.
