DEAR CONGRESS,

I’m playing Xbox Legislature 360 After Hours
as either Fat E. avatar
or Fatty Girl avatar
("It’s in the game!") &
I smell butt, k? // Should I
gladhand chairman in chambers or
kiss the ring of member in cloakroom or
caucus without whistle wetting? //
I got three constituencies
deli, bagel & karate—well
donut, burger & stripmall, too
they piss in my face & tell me I’m sweating //
I have missed 55 votes & mounting
like U.S. of A. debt counter, k? //

Yrs, Constituent

DEAR CONGRESS,

You could procure Fed Gov Inflatable Worker® complete w/
Real Break Room Tendencies® & Real Chat Room Impulse® &
Frequent Bouts of Loose Stool® ("Just Add Water™")
now that The Shutdown® has been parried & anyhow subject it to
The Shutdown® experience: Arrival of Ethnic Repo Man® &
Arrival of Ethnic Deputy w/ Four Colour Order to Vacate® &
Arrival of Ethnic Missionary w/ Mimeograph on Position® ///
I dreamt that British Petroleum® was acquired by Chia Pet®
in return for the Intellectual Property® accumulated by Madonna®
when she Flirted® with Stieg Larsson Hologram®—so real that I
purchased Chia Gulf Oil Disaster® ("Just Add Water™" &
"Watch It Grow™") w/ 3.5 pct APR® from Chia High Finance® but
The Sad Regularity of American Life® punked my REM Cycle Chia®
leaving me w/ Flaccid Accounts of Our Inflationary Peoples® ///

Yrs, Constituent

DEAR CONGRESS,

You have re-eroticized
my consumerist tendencies &
I require endless athletic support
or endless Sport
seasons that never expire
teams that never perspire //
"Cardswipe" is the new "Arsewipe"
you Cardswipe you
jockstrap emeritus you &
your glandular glad-handing //
I fashion festive nut balloon
from walnuts & (Magnum) prophylactic
the ladies think me econo-patriotic &
like a nut balloon, I am hard //

Yrs, Constituent

I think that O'Hara's Irish STOUT (I capitalize the word for personal reasons) is the finest Irish STOUT. (I happen to like Guinness Foreign Extra STOUT second.) In fact, O'Hara's should be among a handful of candidates for finest STOUT in the world. It is sessionable and offers a plain, respectable bitterness. I highly endorse this STOUT.
