Jon Reisman
With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore and any non-cynics left
'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the House
The lame ducks were plotting, preparing to pounce;
The earmarks were hung on the omnibus with care,
In hopes that Pelosi and Shumer would share;
Angus and Susan nestled snug on the Floor,
With visions of earmarks hung on the door;
And Chellie in her Pingree, and Jared in his flannel,
Had just settled down for a lobster regs panel.
