I don’t know much about Dan Crenshaw

Other than he’s a Navy SEAL who then saw

The chance to serve again from a different view

And is now a Rep from TX District 2.

He and the liberal comics at SNL

Just showed us all how to live together well.

Make no mistake, our police need support.

And are likely not guilty of what some purport.

But why would the DoJ limit the ability

For the legal system to ensure our stability?

If the finance committee at any firm

Outlawed audits, you’d be concerned.

The swing state of Florida is still in play

With outcomes unclear after Election Day.

So it’s back to a recount in this state,

Which is slightly alarming, and might recreate

A tough situation which was pretty bad.

Remember those days of hanging chad?

Results are in and there’s no surprise

A nation divided is still the reprise.

There was never to be a big blue wave

The pollsters are living inside some rave.

But our nation is built on balances and checks.

And the new House makeup this reflects.

It is so annoying to hear it said

“Get out and vote!” unless you’re dead.

Everyone knows it to be true

And everyone tells it to their crew.

Yet 60% of us will not show!

So stop your squawking unless you go.

Never mind the 8 years of previous gains

That started in a place of near-death pain.

And arguably were caused by lack of attention

To avarice and greed and not to mention

Lack of regulation where it’s needed most.

Fact is, these results are something to toast!

There’s such a bond between dog and boy.

Perhaps rooted in their undisguised joy

Taking delight in the simple pleasures

Offered by nature’s beautiful treasures.

Gideon, thank you for the work you do!

And for love between those with four legs and two.

It did always strike me as slightly strange

That a child born here is allowed to exchange

Her parents’ homeland for citizenship here.

But it’s right there in 14, a script we hold dear!

When ICE can deport you, it’s a contradiction

To say immigrants aren’t subject to jurisdiction.

I wonder what would happen if

We really tried to end this tiff.

And started talking about shared goals

Rather than process, on fringy poles.

Is it really true that we disagree

On what America can truly be?

When in the house or in the car

The temperature sometimes goes too far

Towards hot or cold and comfort is lost,

But the response often leaves reason tossed,

Cranking the thermostat to the opposite extreme

Look around us today and that’s politics, it seems.
