The spectacle we witnessed
May be worthy of derision
But in thinking what I’d write today
I could make no decision
Was what I saw dispositive
Or just a mad illusion?
I thought a lot about it
But have reached no firm conclusion
The Congressmen impressed me
By how desperate they are
I could say that I was saddened
But I wouldn’t go that far
Is the evidence substantial
Or a media creation?
Maybe somewhere in the middle
I’ve made no determination
If their guy was hitting clean-up
I would say he took and 0-fer
But that’s just from my perspective here
Sitting on my sofa
For it seems to be a maxim
And a governmental mission
That nothing that they promise
Ever makes it to fruition
There’s no comprehensive compromise
No border wall construction
No progress on entitlements
No deficit reduction
Where’s the wave of new indictments
Final Justice should be riding
Where’s the dang Inspector General
Or is that guy in hiding?
Why should I reach my conclusions
Much less put them in a rant
If the learned Special Council
And the peevish Congress can’t?
Maybe soon it will be over
But I sorta kinda doubt it
I could say I know for certain
But I’ll have to think about it
