Twas A Week Before Christmas on Capitol Hill
The following poem was written by Kevin Baker of Shelby, NC. It was read on WBT-AM radio on 12/22/09.  Twas a week before Christmas, when on Capitol Hill The democrats were working, on the ObamaCare bill Americans did not want it, the Dems did not care Backdoor deals being cut, transparency nowhere The children were nestled all snug in their beds Unaware of a future jeopardized by the feds Myself and my wife, part of the unemployed mob Were staying up late, for we didn't have a job When out in the yard there arouse such a rauckus The last noise I heard like this came from Max Baucus Away to the window I flew like a flash Faster than the government can print up new cash The moon that night, oh how strong it did shine So bright you could even read our foreclosure sign When what did I see coming near from afar A mega-green hybrid electric Volt car With fanfare a plenty, a real hype-orama I knew in a flash it must be Obama. Yes it was Barack, Oh yes this I did know For he has been on every magazine and show. On Oprah, on Dateline, on Primetime and Leno On The View, on Wipeout, four times on The Late Show From The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal His face was as familiar as the KFC Colonel He spoke not a word, his teleprompter was broke And the gift that he gave me I thought was a joke He presented no gift to bring me a thrill All that he gave me was a higher tax bill For a guy who spent trillions, I thought this was cheap And the hike in the taxes was very, very steep But that’s the way it goes, for I am middle class When government needs money, it bites us in the ….wallet He sprang to his hybrid, the gears he did wind And left not a single carbon footprint behind Then he exclaimed to me, his higher tax debtor “When I promised change, I didn't say for the better!”
