The 113th Congress - Saner Heads?

Rumor has it Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell are

Very close to compromise, although they won't get far...

Just across the hall, perhaps, unless John Boehner will

Bring it to a vote.  I wouldn't hold my breath until.

Markets must believe it 'cause they didn't take a dive,

'though the recent shutdown means that business didn't thrive.
 CFOs are slugging down their keg-aged, single malt.
They don't like a shutdown but they really hate default.

Hope the markets have it right or we're all gonna lose.

Hope the GOP will put a muzzle on Ted Cruz.

Judging by the recent polling, he makes people mad,

As we ponder how this situation got so bad.

Wondering why we're ignored in favor of extremes;

Why we're always victims in some politician's schemes.

Hope that saner heads prevail and they can make a deal.

Call or write your Congressperson. Tell them how you feel.
