Only in Congress

Only in Congress could somebody lie

And earn more than a nurse or a teacher,

With tales so outrageous no one could deny

That his chutzpah must be his best feature.

Expelled by his peers (he refused to resign),

Representative Santos insisted 

That he’d done nothing wrong, never crossed any line,

But his logic was crazy and twisted.  

So charged with conspiracy, credit card fraud,

Identity theft and some scheming,

We all should be able to cheer and applaud

As reports of his ouster keep streaming.

My question to Congress is why did it take

Months of fighting to get him ejected?

Though looking at Congress, my only mistake

Is not thinking this should be expected.
