I've followed the Republican House funnies (mostly by Rep. John Boehner's blog and Twitter), and Rep. Tim Walberg's comment got me to write a little bit of doggerel. To the tune of the old spiritual Let My People Go (if you can stand midi, this tune) this should be done as call-response, with the chorus singing the italicized line and the refrain in full. The meter doesn't work perfectly, but that's what you get for 20 minutes before class:

When at the gas station did I stand,
Let my Congress vote!
Oppressed so hard by Sierra Club�s demand,
Let my Congress vote!

REFRAIN
Go down,
Way down in Fruit and nut land,
Tell old Pelosi
To let my Congress vote!

No more shall we hear enviros roil,
Let my Congress vote!
Let them come out with Democrats� spoil,
Let my Congress vote!

Oh, let us all from Pelosi flee
Let my Congress vote!
And let those blue dogs all be free
Let my Congress vote!

You need not always pay more
Let my Congress vote!
And consume one hundredth of Al Gore
Let my Congress vote!

Your foes shall not take away your AC
Let my Congress vote!
And it won�t be a crime to drive a Humvee
Let my Congress vote!
