'Twas the Night before Hearings
And all through the Hill
No business was moving
Not even a Bill
The committee room prepped
To minimize glare
Ready for the cameramen
Soon to be there
With the witnesses ready
And the lawyers on deck
POTUS readied his Twitter
To blast them to heck
And all through the Hill
No business was moving
Not even a Bill
The committee room prepped
To minimize glare
Ready for the cameramen
Soon to be there
With the witnesses ready
And the lawyers on deck
POTUS readied his Twitter
To blast them to heck
When out from the SCIF
There arose such a clatter
The press rallied forth
To see what was the matter
Out then came a man
Both lanky and tall
Papers in hand
To distribute to all
He gathered them round
And the mood it did shift
For the Intelligence Chair
One Rep. Adam Schiff

And the mood it did shift
For the Intelligence Chair
One Rep. Adam Schiff
He cried, good and loud
"I have here some subpoenas!
For officials to come
And show their demeanors"
And quick as a flash
He called out their names
To appear before Congress
And mayhap levy blame

"NOW VOLKER,
NOW SONDLAND,
NOW MASHA,
AND GEORGE KENT!
ON TAYLOR,
ON VOLKER,
ON COOPER,
AND VINDMAN!!"

The president watched
As cameras snapped on
He grumbled and worried
And fret on his lawn
"This Schiff is a liar!"
He cried to the press
"He's sneaky and shady
This is all a big mess!"
And tweets he did type
And send out to the masses
Typos left in
For he won't wear his glasses

But the hearings went on
As if POTUS weren't speaking
The GOP saying
"There's been far too much leaking!"
The hearings proceeded
As most witnesses show
To tell Congress a story
Of an alleged quid pro quo

Schiff bundled the words
And sent them to Jerry
Chairman Nadler, that is
Chair of Judiciary
How the story will end
Is anyone's guess
Will the Senate remove?
Or will the votes be far less?

As we move to this phase
Of the inquiry's search
We end with these words
Tweeted out from my perch
"There's one big huge thing
To take from this rhyme:
POTUS's call wasn't perfect
It was prolly a crime!"

Whew. To answer several questions:
- I wrote this dumb thing as I was going
- I resorted to the rhyming dictionary once in the process
- the witness list was my fav part to write
- we'll see if I join @davidmackau in "Published A Children's Book Through BuzzFeed" infamy
