January 3, 2019: O Happy Day!

The Dems have taken back the House!

Hopefully, there now will be

For Donald Trump and his admin team

Some accountability.

For two years, Republicans

Have groveled before the man at the top,

Assisting him in obstructing justice.

The nonsense is going to have to stop.

The president's relationship

With the truth worsens every day.

Normal leaders would watch their step,

But his huge ego gets in his way.

Trump’s talking points, for instance,

At a recent Cabinet meeting

Were right out of Putin’s playbook--

Not worthy of even retweeting.

Well, now it’s about time

That members of Congress voice their concern.

Forget about being obsequious,

Mealy-mouthed or taciturn!

Now the American people will have

A House that really cares about them--

One that will fight for justice and also

Condemn that which it ought to condemn.

Many sworn into office today

Reflect diversity in their faces--

Mainly among the Democrats,

Who won highly competitive races.

Progressive change won’t be easy.

There’s STILL a storm that we have to weather:

Trump’s sycophants in the Senate--

Another story altogether.

The past two years have clearly shown us

What a horrible mess we're in.

Positive change will move us forward.

Let the oversight begin!
