Off again on again Senator Manchin
He circles round back to where he begins
First he is for it and then he’s ‘aggin’
It seems to depend upon what mood he’s in
Of course I’m referring to Biden’s big plan
His signature policy seemingly damned
By Manchin last Sunday when he took his stand
And said he’d vote no which would scuttle the plan
At first he’d approved Biden’s framework right out
And then indicated he’s having some doubts
But later assured Biden he was devout
On finding a way. It was what he’s about
So Manchin’s pronouncement that he would vote no
Was not well received by the other Big Joe
Nor by the House Dem. Progressives, although
They’d surely predicted that Manchin would blow
Even In Manchin’s home state, WV
Manchin was criticized saying that he
Had better rethink his position that be
Since that bill contains much of what the state needs
So Manchin is back at the table once more
Though tensions are higher than what was before
Off again on again, Joe to his core
It’s anyone’s guess as to what is in store
