Legislative Sludge
The legislative worth is shamefully scaly.
If you like mindless dearth
watch congress daily.
The legislative creed is shady decadence.
If you like wanton greed
watch self-indulgence.
The legislative grind is typically berserk.
If you like flying blind
watch lawmakers work.
The legislative sludge is bureaucratic bloat.
If you like payback grudge
watch panders for vote.
The legislative flaunt is disobedience.
If you like bragger vaunt
watch expedience.
The legislative goal is seldom understood.
If you like their control
watch the neighborhood.
