Gimme

For a group of ninnies who but rarely legislate,
congress has it easy and their benefits are great.
They're never on commission and performance doesn't count;
they cannot be arrested though their debts just mount & mount.
The salary is pleasant and not subject to decline.
They can nap the live-long day in leather chairs divine.
They traipse about on junkets,while the public foots the bill.
With lobbyists they eat for free -- and always get their fill.
Making accusations, they need never offer proof.
They live the life of Riley underneath palatial roof.
Now I don't mind these goldbricks on the public gravy train.
In fact I wish to join them, not to cause them any pain.
Give me healthcare just like theirs and job security
and pension plan and how about a fool-proof salary?
Don't tell me they deserve it any better than we do;
they can vote it all for me and citizens like you.
Let them keep their cruises and their backroom deals galore;
the ghost of Huey Long has said they cannot keep us poor.
Share the wealth, my brother,or like Jackie Gleason's goon --
POW! Right in the kisser -- we'll elect you to the moon.
