'Twas the month of summer recess when all through DC

Not a creature was stirring, not even Pelosi.

Congress was gone with nary a care,

They had money to raise and constituents to scare.

The Dems were back home in their own feather beds,

While visions of new regulations danced in their heads.

And Mamma in her skirt and I in my cap,

We're getting really tired of this Washington crap.

When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,

I muted Fox news to see what was the matter.

I ran to the door and picked up my Glock,

I peered through the peep hole and pulled back the cock.

The moon was high in the brilliant night sky,

Which makes for an easy shot if things go awry.

When what do my wandering eyes see in the night,

But Air Force One soaring gracefully in flight.

Carrying our skinny president so wily and slick,

I knew in a moment it must be that ... uh, person.

More liberal than Alinsky his advisers they came,

And he begged and whined and called them by name.

Now Clinton! Now Holder!

Now Jarrett and Plouffe!

Forget about Biden,

His brain is too rough.

The first lady and I

Want to go have a ball.

So take all my scandals

Make them go away all.

The world is on fire; Russia's like a zoo,

Golf is now called for; several rounds will do.

On to Martha's Vineyard, the first couple flew

With a plane full of donors and both kids, too.

Many on the right scream "Why is he leaving?!"

That's not so bad when Barrack's not achieving.

His radical goals that run so eschew,

From what America was originally put here to do.

Although it's nice when pols leave D.C. town,

No damage can be done by the idiot clowns.

However, the lobbyists remain with their bags of gold,

Bribing all of the staffers like the days of old.

As for Congress being gone, who gives a rat's butt?

All they do is spend money, leaving us deep in a rut.

They pass crazy laws like they're all smoking crack,

So stay away longer; in fact, don't ever come back.

Voters thought Barack was fly as he won in '08,

The world would love us again because he's so great.

He could give a nice speech with a little prompter aid,

But upon the world stage he acts so afraid.

The Middle East, Benghazi and now the Ukraine,

Barack thought being prez was cool, but it's more of a pain

There are too many hotspots that are way too hot,

He ordered the captain "Land in Colorado; I need some pot."

Suddenly Barack sprang to the window to view our great land,

He said he can make it better as he waved his hand.

Patiently waiting for his teleprompter to boot,

"Don't worry America; I'll be back for more loot!"
