the debt ceiling defcon zero ended
in a blaze of hand motions air saws
and briar patches
in counter point worthy of old bach himself
this joint two party op has composed
not the symphonic equivalent of a camel corps
but the swiftest sleekist singing chorus of arabian steeds imaginable
t'is nothing short of a spell binding rapsody
full of paper handcuffs
disappearing hammer locks
melting iron bar cages
and magical sky hooked
draconian spending cuts
that all disappear upon the merest of secret wishes
why this worthless conniving gang of penn ave ellves
has produced a master piece
a work not for an age but for all time
a conjury worthy of the Great Satan himself
after a hearty breakfast
and
best of all
since no pack ofconspiring imps and minor devils like these knaves
ever really honest injun trusts itself collectively or each other individually
there are enough mutually independent
contingent escape pods for both sides
scattered in layers and echelons everywhere
like irish potatos ...so god damn many disgustingly blatant " free outs "..
for christ sake and by the thunder of jove
the loop holes are numerous enough and big enough
to rescue all the anglo-french troops
trapped at dunkirk
right along with their heavy weapons tanks artillary and entire logistical train
and maybe even
three dozen bus loads of flemish whores thrown in there just for the fun of it
an eleventh hour time portal to end all time portals
the hill and the white house can undo redo voodo hoodo whatever they want
in fact
this bit of legislative nonsense
far from narrowing the options for expensive mischief
has most likely
increased them
the range of irresponsible actions
open to our elected leadership is limitless
okay so that's the point isn't it
