A Tea Person's Congress?
(Will decaffeinated make a difference?)

Does Boehner look like a Tea Person to you?
Is his complexion due to too much Orange Pekoe?
Or to John Boehner's balance of Washington nightlife
And vacation villas in San Juan, Puerto Rico?

If it's Orange Pekoe, which we very much doubt,
Perhaps they'll persuade him to lend them an ear.
Otherwise they'll end up just like Sharron Angle
Who's still whistling Dixie with her head up her rear.

How much of a say will the Tea Party have?
How many Tea Persons can Big Money convert?
Will Obama's trifecta and new found momentum
Mean all their ideas will be treated like dirt?

In two thousand-ten Tea Persons earmarked
Over a billion on this's and that's.
Did their constuents know when they voted
Their Tea Person hypocrites would be wearing two hats?

White ones to make us believe they will do what they say –
All in their power to reduce government cost.
Black ones for working with corporate lobbyists,
Without whose assistance they'd have probably lost.

Watch how they fall victim to Boehner's influence.
Red state representatives with a yellowish hue,
Often described as a light Boehner orange…
Who knew what that much Orange Pekoe would do?
