Well, this level of schadenfreude calls for a limerick contest, doesn't it?
I have my doubts, but maybe one of you can beat my entry:
Speaker Boehner proposed "Plan B".
It was scuttled by the GOP.
This made him quite sad,
But now he is glad,
That "Plan C" was bourbon whiskey.
(Haikus also accepted.)
Edit: now that nom de plume has gamely entered the haiku league, my haiku entry:
A show vote has shown
the rank weeds that have grown from
the seeds that were sown.
