With Apologies to St. Nick 2022



Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ‘House’

Republicans were scrambling as quiet as a mouse.

Plotting Made for Fox Soundbite Hearings with no rhyme or reason

In hopes that Trolling instead of Governing will be a hit for their ‘season’!

MAGA-Beholding McCarthy tossed and turned in his bed

While visions of Marjorie/Boebert Feuding scrambled his head!

McConnell’s 'Grinchy' brain cells planning more ‘Obstruction’ Plots

To keep Biden/Dems Voting Rights Agenda tied up in knots!

When out on the White House lawn there arose such a clatter

They guarded their Republican-Fed Tax Cuts for the Rich to see what was the matter.

Away to their ‘Pay for Play’ campaign coffers they flew like a flash

Making sure Fair-Share Taxation won’t limit their stash!

 

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow

Gave a luster of limbo to Republican-Blocked Immigration Border Reform below

When what to their wondering eyes did appear

But Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda - the first in 4 years!

Delivered a First Black Female Justice, Paid Family Leave, Child Tax Credit, vaccines across the nation

Halved child poverty, ended Forever Wars with massive Infrastructure Legislation

Delivered historical policy shifts with Climate Change, NATO Alliances, Marriage Equality and more

No blinking, no shrinking -

Intent on balancing the score!

 

Fed up with Republican-Packed Justices, Senators, Legislatures, Governors Voter Oppression Tricks!

Biden’s House Democrats added John Lewis Voting Rights AND For the People Acts to their Fair Election list

Manchin/Sinema helped Senate Republicans block both Acts without shame

But House Democrats kept delivering for The People just the same

They passed Covid RescueInflation Reduction, Consumer Protections too

Lower Health Care & Prescription Costs, Emergency Food & Rent Assistance …

 Just to name a few!

 

As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

Messy Jesse, Tucker the Mucker and the rest of the FOX QAnon Crew flew

With a fact-free bag of disinformation, race-baiting and lies -

What else is new?

And then in a twinkling, WE heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each FOXified Hunter Biden Spoof!

 

As WE drew in our heads and turned around

McConnell’s Defeat Democracy to Defeat Biden Senate Republicans pounced with a bound.

Dressed all in ‘Nuke’ Gingrich-manufactured fur from head to foot,

Flashing Anti-Biden, Anti-Voting, Anti-Middle/Working Class Filibusters tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of “NO!” Votes tucked under their hats.

They all looked like peddlers just opening their packs.

 

Their deceptions – how they twinkled!

Backed by House Republican Overturn Election Votes so leery!

Lowering For the People governing standards just to make MAGA Trumpers cheery!

 

Their droll little mouths were drawn down row by row,

And their "NO!" Votes  rang-out as empty as snow.

The stump of their Filibusters stuck in their teeth

Defeat America to Defeat Biden encircled their heads like a wreath.

They had broad, fake smiles and bloated Tax Cuts for the Rich bellies

That shook when they deceived, like a bowl full of jelly.

And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself;

A wink of their eyes and a TWIST of their heads!

 

The Exorcist sequel! Hide! Under the sled!

 

Dems rolled up their sleeves, and continued to work

Turning a “Wave” to a ‘Trickle’ in the Midterms can’t be smirched.

And laying their finger aside their nose

And giving a nod, to the Capital they rose!

 

Biden sprang to his sleigh – to his Team gave a whistle.

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight –

 

Happy Christmas to all!

And to all a Good Night!
