Transparency
Where is it?

Your spouse maxed out your credit cards,
    but when questioned what she bought
Replied, "Calm down, I'll tell you later."
    Are your concerns an afterthought?

Your daughter who is getting married
    just compiled her iwedding list,
But won't admit to you how many.
    Aren't you at least a little pissed?

The Presidential entourage
    has put together quite a bill.
Must we guess what's in it for us
    through the Facebook rumor mill?

The Congress squabbles when in session
    criticizing what's whose pork.
How'll we judge without the details?
    Who's the mother? Who's the stork?

What happened to that campaign promise?
    Did they not pledge transparency?
What a boon to all the country,
    here at home and in D.C.
