Lament of a Texas Legislator

May 10, 2017
John Dalton

 

It does not matter what I do,

What Bills I file or follow through,

‘Cause Ol’ Joe Straus and all his pals,

Will call my Bills as strikes or fouls.

So, if my Bills don’t lean to left,

They’ll scratch and claw my Bill to death.

 

Now ol’ Joe Straus has made a deal

To keep the People under heel.

He rules the State House like a czar

Yet, treats with liberals, near and far.

And as to laws the People need,

He’ll leave those Bills to fall and bleed.

 

With Cook and Hunter and the rest,

Straus rules what Bills are bad and best.

The Bills protecting women-folk

Or the unborn,  he deems “a joke.”

Yet, Bills all set to rob us blind,

They move those Bills on up the line.

 

As long as Joe Straus holds the sway,

We, the People, cannot say

The Legislature’s good for us,

And all Bills passed are right and just.

Instead, Our wants and needs fall hard

And end up in the “Straus graveyard.”
