Mitch McConnell’s increasingly fumy
‘Cause Arlen turned Dem over Toomey
It makes 60 votes,
“Come on o’er,” you turncoats,
GOP, it’s sure looking more gloomy

-Girl from Nantucket

If you snort and your tail starts to curl
Or you sweat and you think you might hurl
I’ve got some bad news
About these agues:
Our neighbor has deaths in the plural

-De poetry non est disputandum

The joke seems a little too solemn
For typos however ya call ‘em
But Nats with no “o”
Does seem apropos
Since they’re most of what’s in the ‘wins’ column

The world of big money crimes
Rarely has this many dimes
The question is how
He got 200 thou
Each meter, he hit many times

If you’re rashy and starting to sneeze
Then maybe you’ve got the disease
It’s more than a hunch
The culprit was lunch
Some measles with turkey and cheese

-D.L.

How charming, the follies of youth
That lead to behaviors uncouth
Did the window of butts
Lead to editing cuts?
Tonight is the moment of truth

-D.L.

You’re pissed and you just can’t help feeling
That taxes sans voting is stealing
Then send in your teabags
To government d-bags
‘Cause what says “F U” like Darjeeling?

-D.L.

America got its first peek
Of the dog (in his “tux” he’s so chic!)
Not Charlie; he’s Bo
The WaPo should know
Their exclusive fell prey to a leak

-D.L.

Perhaps their bad rap can be beat
By sending the infrequent tweet
But should they be friending
while fires are pending
Or might that just turn up the heat?

-D.L.

For trashy “real people” teevee
This city’s the best place to be
One’s black, one’s a nut
Of course there’s the slut-
“The Real World” comes to DC
