The year that was, gross politics galore
From Justices who Iie – to insurrection
But Democrats did win throughout the nation
Now Donald Trump’s
Back on the stump
Though twice impeached
Won’t buy defeat
I wonder what the New Year has in store
Unique among events there on the Hill
The January-Six select committee
A monumental job they have completed
They showed throughout
Without a doubt
Trump’s many lies
His multi-tries
To stay in place despite the voters’ will
For sure ex-Pres. Don Trump will be indicted
On many counts both federal and some states
The D.O.J. can’t look the other way
The evidence
Plus precedent
Just won’t allow
Ignoring now
That’s not to say that he will be convicted
The New Year finds the G.O.P. a mess
With such a very slim majority
McCarthy’s number one priority
Is being Speaker
Long time seeker
He’ll likely win
By caving in
The Party’s future one can only guess
One thing I do expect this coming year
When House control becomes Republican
They’ll gorge themselves on hearings ‘cause they can
In retribution
Sans solutions
Done in haste
A total waste
And little legislation will appear
To all of you, my readers dear
I wish a happy, fruitful year
