Chuck Grassley, Adieu
(And Iowa)

The Senate showed Grassley what it thought of his attempt
To delay and then scuttle immigration reform.

In six months he'd be able to vote against it again.
For Senator Grassley, dirty tricks are the norm.

Tell him to get with the program. The nation is ready,
Even if he and his backwards constituents are not.
Go home and tell them they're behind the times.
Iowa is the last place an immigrant would be caught.

Who'd want to live there if they didn't have to?
Tornadoes and droughts? What is there to like?
No wonder Chuck Grassley and his stupid ammendment
Were rejected and would be well advised to take a hike,

Until a bill is passed to merge Iowa with a more populous state.
Iowa's too small to warrant even two
Senators, compared to a giant like Texas,
And in the transition we might get rid of you.
