appropriations

No bogus "crisis" justifies these funds;
appropriations ain't for Trump to call.
Like Reagan hooking Contras up with guns,
if Congress disapproves, there'll be no Wall.
Tripartite government bears the attacks
as week by week, what had been bad gets worse.
What Caesar seizes, he ain't giving back
and Trumpty craves the Power of the Purse.
Three branches constitute a stable stool
if senators have spine enough to stand
like vertebrates, but Mitch is Donald's tool
who rarely pokes his snout above the sand.
A Unified Executive's the thing
our Founders fought to rid us of a king.
