Pelosi Prevailing… limerick

A few days ago I was grrr… fuming

Over a morose mutiny looming

Nancy Pelosi

I expected she

Would be House Speaker… I’d been assuming

~

Malcontent Democrats, a small faction,

Wanted to oust her, and they took action

16 Democrats

We’ll ain’t that some shhh

Penned a statement of dissatisfaction

~

They wouldn’t support her to take back her seat

As Speaker of the House, a repeat

She’s done it before

Did it well, what’s more

They had no plan other than to unseat

~

Like the GOP’s: “repeal and replace”

For healthcare, that wasn’t really the case

No replacement plan

(Trade her for a man)

A just outcry emerged at this disgrace

~

To become speaker, here’s the routine

A majority of votes, 218

Are the requisite

She wouldn’t have it

Sans misguided signatory 16

~

Math hurts my head, but I’ve told my children

“You’ll need it in life… Like now, that’s when!”

233 House Dems

-16- gems

=217 (1 short) Ahem

~

Now I’ve been forced to do math, and I’m pissed

So I will provide for you a full list

Of defectors who

Don’t have the sense to

Focus on Trump first… you get the gist:

~

1. Ohio Representative Tim Ryan

2. Massachusetts Representative Seth Moulton

3. Colorado Representative Ed Perlmutter

4. Oregon Representative Walter Kurt Schrader

5. New York Representative Kathleen Rice

6. Texas Representative Filemon Vela Jr

7. New York Representative Brian Higgins

8. Illinois Representative Bill Foster

9. Massachusetts Representative Stephen Lynch

10. California Representative Linda Sanchez

11. Tennessee Representative Jim Cooper

12. New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew

13. South Carolina Representative Joe Cunningham

14. New York Representative Max Rose

15. New York Representative Anthony Brindisi

16. Utah Representative Ben McAdams

~

What’s this? Has number seven been crossed out?

*Rep Brian Higgins, what’s he about?

One of the 16

That leaves… um… 15!

Giving Pelosi her votes. So there’s no doubt

~

Constituents spoke out, and it hit home

Higgins had no real cause to dethrone

Pelosi, we know,

Not a man, although

She’s earned it. Recent history has shown…

~

The US has gone back to a time

When sexism wasn’t thought out of line

Racism as well

Trump’s affected Hell

(Shhh… our next Speaker will be reassigned)

~

January new congress takes control

Trump’s impeachment will create a sinkhole

It will swallow Mike Pence

Next in line… President

House Speaker – A WOMAN in the role

~

This is my prediction, fait accompli.

You doubters wait a few months and you’ll see

What’s yet to be done

She will be the one

Poetic justice: President Pelosi
