McCarthy’s chance as Speaker now seems slim
A dozen Reps. said they won’t vote for him
It takes two eighteen votes for him to win
But no one else has tossed his name there in
What happens if a Speaker’s not elected?
We learned from Rachel Maddow what’s expected
Without a Speaker no one gets sworn in
No business by the House proceeds within
It’s been a hundred years since this occurred
For two whole months House business was deferred
Consider what would happen sans a Speaker
Defaults on debt; gov. funding in the freezer
My guess is that McCarthy will cave in
And promise radicals their every whim
In order that The Speaker he’d become
A Pyrrhic victory he will have won
