Humoring the headlines: September 27, 2013

By Laurie Baron

The ghost of Dr. Seuss overheard Senator Ted Cruz’s denunciation and responded with the following text message.

I do not like Ted Cruz’s scam.
His entire speech was just like spam.
When health care is in a jam,
His filibuster was a sham.

Playing loose and playing fast
To defund a law that Congress passed.
In a rant that was delusional.
He forgot it’s constitutional.

Ted was nimble
Ted was quick.
Barack is better
If you get sick.

Seuss I am
And I don’t scare.
I’m a doctor
For Obama Care.
