Funding A Hole In One
For Oklahoma's Uncle Tom Coburn

This Okie's OK with the news:
    A slumlord's funding me!
One room with bath is perfect
    and just my cup of tea.
Why shouldn't OK's favorite son
Be funded for a hole in one
Of DC's houses of repute,
    not just a SoonerCare tepee?

The fact I'm OK with it
    should please any Okie mom.
Who better to be funded
    than fun loving Uncle Tom?
They're making sure her favorite son
Enjoys a housing hole in one;
And all it took to get it
    was greasing someone's palm.

Would I still be OK with it
    if we renters had to forfeit
Years of unreported income
    because our funding's illegit?
Could I as OK's favorite son
Lose funding for my hole in one
And be confused with Jim Inhofe,
    the other OK Senate wit?
