The Ballad of Teddy Cruz

Image from Salon.com

Every week there is a dick
who makes the rest of us quite sick.
I realize this is hardly news,
but this week it is Teddy Cruz.

He did not like Obamacare;
he would not like it anywhere.
It made him pace and rant and roar
for hours on the Senate floor.

That’s what he did, this Texan dude
(who makes us think of words quite crude).
He ranted and he quoted Seuss,
The Doctor, who would have no use

For such an application of
His verses we all know and love.
Ted Geisel was a caring soul
Who felt for people on the dole.

He would not like his work misused
by hucksters like this Teddy Cruz
to try to take health care away
from who need it most, I say.

The Senate’s now the butt of jokes
Because of Teddy Cruz-like folks.
It makes us mad, it makes us pissed
To see the Senate used like this.

Teddy Cruz, he wants to be
The President of you and me.
That’s why he played around like this:
Our Teddy is a narcissist.

Don’t be fooled by patriotic
talk: that would be idiotic.
Everything Cruz does and says
is ‘cause he wants to be the Prez.

For Teddy’s buddy Randy Paul
This kind of stunt seemed a good call.
He seemed to take the world by storm
(at least among the Fox-informed).

So why should Ted not follow suit
And launch a stunt that’s just as cute?
Oh yeah! Because Ted cannot win--
You see, Cruz is Canadian.

So all this nonsense, all this bluster,
all this so-called filibuster,
helps our Teddy not one bit;
He just chose to be a shit.
