As Johnson's House doth quake like startled hare,
In heat of dance with bill's pertinacious dare.
A ruffled goat midst wolves, must stand with guile,
To steer the vessel past the tempest's snare.
As Edmundo, of far Venezuela, fled,
Like snail to Spain, his timid shadow spread.
An election won, yet homeland left behind,
A dirge for democracy silently read.
In courts, the judge declaimed in wisdom clear,
Wagers shall mark congressional career.
Like gamblers bidding on a rabbit's race,
The future now a packaged good for purchase, dear.
