Jeff Koterba / Cagle Cartoons |
In the House
there’s treachery afoot.
A leader sandwiched by volleys
of red sensation
and
what formerly was known
as consensus.
And the price to be paid:
parliamentary
demo-
li-tion.
I move that the Country
Avert economic infanticide
By installing cold showers
That spray the margins where
Passion plays like theatre
To astound the outer rings.
