Guns-5
A Senate Republican, that’s what I am
The years that I’ve been here I’ve voted with Mitch
I’ve never liked Trump; he’s a President scam
But we’re I to say so, I’d find myself ditched
I like being Senator, perks there are many
We meet in committees but have little clout
We do what Trump signals, few changes, if any
We fear Trump’s disfavor; it leaves little doubt
Like you I’m appalled when mass shootings occur
I offer my prayers but the problem is guns
Like AR-15s, truly weapons of war
But in my situation not much can be done
I’m afraid of the MAGAs and fear NRA
They’ll make sure I’m defeated on Primary day
Unless I succumb, always voting their way
But I want to stay Senator; what can I say?
Most Senate Republicans feel just like me
They are profiles in cowardice – one priority
To stay put in office whatever might be
They are G.O.P. ‘s silent majority
