And then the questioning began
But they did not question
They made speeches
When he tried to answer
The shouted over
When he started to answer
They shouted, "Reclaiming my time."

Reclaiming my time
Time waisted
Time lost
Opportunity cost
"I am reclaiming my time."

I am livid
I am enraged
Bill Barr at last in Congress
But the Dems have not engaged
They speechify and cut him off
And waste the nation's time

I awoke today, refreshed, awake
It's cool enough to take a walk
But my phone alerted
C-SPAN was about to break
The news that Barr would talk
And there went my leisure time.

I am a political junkie, I confess
And Bill Barr is on my bad guys list
At last Congress would grill him
The list of questions is immense
So much to learn from this enabler
Would they nail him down this time?

#BarrHearing

But they bloviated, attacked, but didn't ask
They didn't really ask
Did they want him to answer?
They just cut him off saying
"I am reclaiming my time."

#BarrHearing

But can we reclaim our time?
Can the nation reclaim its?
We've waited all these months
Months we can't reclaim.
Please God, let us reclaim our time.
"I am reclaiming my time."

#BarrHearing

Please God, I shout,
Let me reclaim our time.
