Dr. Seuss is in the House: A Poem - Rick Blum, Humor Times

Dr. Seuss is in the House

The House does not like government
it does not like it one thin cent
not safety nets
not growing debts
it does not like what it begets.

The House does not like Obamacare
it does not like it anywhere
not in the states
not with mandates
It does not like its cheaper rates.

The House does not like compromise
it does not think that it is wise
not on the floor
not ‘hind a door
It does not like to lose a war.

The House does not like progressive laws
It does not like one liberal cause
not going green
not air that’s clean
it does not like things unforeseen.

The House does not like very much
It does not like a softer touch
not safety nets, not growing debts
not in the states, not with mandates
not on the floor, not ‘hind a door
not going green, not air that’s clean
it does not like a wimpy mien.

The House might try democracy
it might forsake hypocrisy
act like adults
give up insults
it just might like the end results.
