T’was the Night Before ObamaCare and All Through the House……
T’was the night before ObamaCare and all thru the House
Not a Congressman was quiet, nor even their spouse.
Pelosi and Sebellius are both wearing skirts.
While Ted Reid is sitting there in a suit, tie, and smirk.
The House and the Senate were fighting all night
With visions of passing, and screaming “I am right!”
Versions of Bills are pages and pages long
With hopes of success hanging by a thread and a song.
With the deadline of the government shutdown looming large
Some yell, “What do we do? What happens to Marge?”
The ACA has premiums, plans and credits aplenty,
Will it help some? Will it help many?
Some say it’s good. Others…it will bankrupt us all.
Big companies will have penalties, and individuals are asking “who do I call?”
And from out of the TV there rose such a chatter
I sprang for my remote to see what was the matter.
CNN saying they have reached a compromise
But, ha ha ha……jokes on you, as they straighten their ties.
With a wink and a nod, and a turn of his head,
Obama says, “Goodnight children, I’m going to bed.”
Congress goes quiet in response to his words,
And then in a split second they are back yelling verbs.
As the clock slips towards midnight on this Monday night
Will the government shut down over the healthcare fight?
And….thus…we shall wait and see,
Who will be the one who turns out the lights?
