The Double Down

 

The Double Down

 

The lobbyist with somber views,

Looks over the morning news.

Saturday night, bullets take flight,

Monterey finds itself in mourning.

Baton Rouge checks in,

12 injured, and the spin,

Needs its push to keep on turning.

NRA senators,

Neatly bought and paid for,

Flip through Bibles

And other SA2 documents of renown.

Lobby Congress step up,

You drank fully from this cup,

Time for you to do the Double Down.

 

Double Down Ted,

Just rearrange what you said,

For Buffalo, Club Q, and Uvalde,

Double Down Lauren,

Marjorie, Paul, and all,

And those lobby funds

You will keep on scorin’.

 

The gun exec at home,

Won’t face the travail alone,

A call to Kevin won’t miss.

Ever mindful of production,

And a crisp bill’s seduction,

And his stocks’ drop he can resist.

The lobbyist needs assurance,

That his built-in insurance

Increases, not decreases,

The revenue in new sales.

So, his pocket politicians,

Must now go all in,

And double down it wholesale.

 

Double Down Ted,

Just rearrange what you said,

For Buffalo, Club Q, and Uvalde,

Double Down Lauren,

Marjorie, Paul, and all,

And those lobby funds

You will keep on scorin’.
