Strange Machinations

Names: Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House; Devin Nunes [NEWness], Chairman, House Intelligence Committee

Strange Machinations

Strange machinations ’round Devin and Paul
Also ‘tween Nunes and President Trump
The President’s man since their days on the stump
I’m seeing some patterns, reviewing it all

There’s the relation ‘tween Trump and Paul Ryan
Mutual dependency, politically
Wary each one of the other, they be
Each needs the other or bills would lie dying

Devin is Chair of the House Oversight
Committee to do with all matter of Intel
The group is bipartisan, secret as well
Ryan appointed Dev, gave him the right

Dev’s Intel has probes into Trumpish connections
Collusions with Russia throughout the campaign,
Through the transition and even Trump’s reign
An odor of treason pervades this election

Who sits in the midst of this controversy?
Devin, himself, steeped in conflicts, no end
To honor his loyalty to his great friend
To honor his organizational creed

What role plays the Speaker, Paul Ryan, in this?
He must know what’s happening; this is his House
But Paul seems oblivious; more like a mouse
The title of Squeaker should really be his

We’re watching soap opera, just holding our breath
Quixotic behaviors, and new revelations
Spiraling downward with no indication
Of when this is over, just what will be left
