Twas The Week Before Christmas

'Twas the week before Christmas, when Congress met,
So eager they were, to pile on the debt;
They knew it was wrong, deep down in their core,
But golly gee whiz, they must spend, spend some more;
With constituents distracted by holiday cheer,
Why, this was their chance, to spend more this year;
So the politicians huddled, they plotted, they planned,
$1 trillion, $2 trillion, how much could they scam?
And that’s when it happened, Reid and Pelosi stood up,
"What’s another $2 trillion, the voters are chumps!"
They raised the debt ceiling with nary a care,
And once that was done, they didn’t stop there;
More rapid than eagles, agendas were set,
They whistled and shouted, "No, we’re not done yet!"
"On health care, on taxes, on Carbon Cap-and-Trade,
"We’ll say it’s the rich, but everyone pays!"
"And for those who oppose us," Reid and Pelosi insist,
"One call to the White House, you’re on the enemies list!"
And so they proceeded with their devilish plans,
Big government to all, constituents be damned.
