The gavel slipped through Jordan's spit-slick fist
despite his threats, and posturing, and noise.
His kind of politician won't be missed
by colleagues, staffers, nor by college boys.
Pelosi wielded power with more grace,
despite a margin every but as fine.
No flying monkeys spitting in one's face;
the party check-book kept her troops in line.
Republicans can't guess who'll step up next;
their donors need a photogenic tool
without the taint of surreptitious sex.
They're more agnostic on the "Hastert rule".
"A house divided" Lincoln warned "can't stand"
but no one in this circus has a plan.
