"Off The Fiscal Cliff"

(With Grover and DeMint)

Who'll devise a safety net
For Grover when he jumps?
Can he count on landing
On enough Tea Party rumps?

Tea Party ranks are thinning.
They aren't what they once were.
Nor are Grover's pledglings,
Though he's reluctant to concur.

Grover has his brave face on,
But pundits doubt that it will help.
He's built us all a mighty cliff.
When he goes off, expect a yelp.

If he survives, what will he do?
He'll blame the Democrats and you
For taxing all the filthy rich.
Fewer playboys? What a bitch.

The largest blow will come
When Heritage goes broke
And has to terminate DeMint,
After all his parting words,
After he misspoke.


Will the Congress take him back?
Will any gen'rals be his pals?
Will DeMint have blown his chances
With all the four-star gen'rals' gals?

Epilogue
And what of snotty Dr. Oz?
Will Monsanto pull the plug?
Will the wizard dine on lizard
Or on some new kind of bug?
