Please, Mr. Boehner, Don't Waste Our Time!

The Speaker of the House, John Boehner—

As if more important issues weren’t pressing—

Wants to sue President Obama.

Poor Boehner—I think he’s obsessing.

He says the President’s executive orders

Seriously and categorically erode

The power of the legislative branch.

Mr. Boehner’s heading down the wrong road.

If the President has to circumvent Congress,

Does it ever occur to Boehner why?

Does recalcitrant Congress ring a bell?

What about House gone awry?

Dealing with a dysfunctional Congress,

The President surely understands

That getting anything done means

Taking matters into his own hands.

Please, please, please, Mr. Boehner,

Don’t waste both our money and our time!

Deal with issues that move us forward.
That would truly be sublime!
