When I give opinions I go on a limb
Tonight it’s two limbs, narrow, shaky and frail
The first treats the problem that BuzzFeed is in
What’s next on the shutdown, I’ll try, then, to tell
As has been reported, BuzzFeed’s revelation
Was, partly disputed by Mueller, himself
BuzzFeed doubled down claiming true their position
I say that “you’re right, also you’re right as well.”
In reading the statement Bob Mueller set forth
It focused on evidence backing the plot,
That Trump ordered Cohen to lie under oath,
BuzzFeed thought it adequate, Mueller did not
Pres. Trump’s in a cul-de-sac lacking off-ramps
His, quote, compromise is bipartisan dead,
But Mitch’s position is in Donald’s camp
He’ll put Trump’s desires to vote, he has said
On losing, bipartisan, Trump’s compromise
McConnell will stall ‘till his Senators break
They’ll force a floor veto-proof vote they’ll devise
To shut off Trump’s shutdown for everyone’s sake
