The Washington Whirl

On Monday morning, with the dawn's first light, A bill was passed in the dead of the night. No one had read it, but they voted 'Aye'! Then Tuesday's hearing had so much to say. A senator shouted, a witness demurred, Over a point that was frankly absurd. A chart was presented, with arrows and flair, Explaining a crisis that wasn't quite there! Oh, what a week in the land of the free! A grand production for you and for me! The curtain goes up on another mad scene,

Is this a government or a fever dream? The orchestra swells with a dramatic crash! Another headline, another mad dash! It’s just one more Friday, so let's all embrace The glorious chaos of this frantic place! By Wednesday, a spokesman resigned with a tear, Citing a tweet that was less than sincere. He’d been there two weeks, a record, they say, And left with a book deal already in play. Then Thursday, a policy, bold and brand new, Contradicted the one from a quarter past two.

The experts all scrambled, the anchors all yelled, While a new shiny object our focus compelled! Oh, what a week in the land of the free! A grand production for you and for me! The curtain goes up on another mad scene, Is this a government or a fever dream? The orchestra swells with a dramatic crash! Another headline, another mad dash! It’s just one more Friday, so let's all embrace The glorious chaos of this frantic place! Can this be real? Are the scripts set in stone?

Is there a writer? Are we all alone? We look to the leaders, for guidance and grace, And see the bewildered look on each face. They’re singing their lines, but they don't know the plot, Just hoping the teleprompter won't stop! Oh, what a week in the land of the free! A grand production for you and for me! The curtain goes up on another mad scene, Is this a government or a fever dream? The orchestra swells with a final, grand crash! Another headline, another mad dash!

It’s just one more Friday, take your final bow! The show must go on, starting right about... now!
