Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Chamber Chat

A Senate of long ago Rome
Stabbed Caesar to death on the floor,
And left the body to go home,
But first gave speeches galore.
The U.S. Senate is well paid
To do the business of us.
Most of the time they each do tell
A bunch of talk and then do fuss
Of staying late on Christmas Eve.
The talking drags on due to scare.
They really are afraid to leave,
Because the voters are out there.

Oh what's the Senate to do?
Why - more empty talk - oh boo hoo!
