Subject: HOW THE GinGRICH STOLE CONGRESS BY DR. SUIT

HOW THE GINGRINCH STOLE CONGRESS
By Rick Namey copyright 1994 all rights reserved
Every wonk down in DC
liked Congress a lot.
But the GinGrinch from Georgia,
most certainly, did not.
"I hate big Government!
"And this whole liberal scene!"
The GinGrinch would bellow.
And he sounded real mean.
But while the GinGrinch derided
the government at large,
he wanted the Congress,
to put him in charge.
An election was coming
throughout the land.
The voters were angry
and they needed a plan.
So the GinGrinch decided
in a bold master stroke,
to make some big promises.
to get some big votes!
"Please vote Republican!'
he said with a grin.
"Look what we'll do,
if you'll just put us in."
"We'll rebuild the army.
"We'll crack down on crime!
"We'll build some more prisons.
"It won't cost a dime!"
"We'll balance the budget,
"in the first hundred days.
"We'll lower your taxes.
"You'll each get a raise!"
"My plan is a wise one.
"It can't be denied.
"It's all in my contract
"in your TV Guide!"
Then the old GinGrinch
said with a snarl,
"We'll get rid of welfare
"For once and for all."
"When we win this election
"with a conservative rout,
"we'll tell welfare mothers
"it's three tykes, you're out!"
And so the election
came one fall night.
The Republicans won it,
as he thought they might.
The GinGrinch was happy!
"Even Foley is gone!
"First I kicked out Jim Wright,
"Then, I got rid of Tom!"
"And now. I'm in power!"
The GinGrinch did shout.
"I'll turn on Whitewater,
and wash Clinton out!"
But the GinGrinch's contract
had one little flaw.
just one little problem
that no one foresaw.
That "Contract With America"
had promised a bill,
to limit the terms of those
fools on the hill.
"This contract's not fair!"
The old GinGrinch bemoaned.
"I just got this job,
now it's time to go home!"
