Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's Tree Dummies

Mitch McConnell's Tree Dummies
Pondering the quality of America's leadership
By BumbleBeeBoogie

A Parliament of stately Owls
with feathered gray goatees
clustered on the branches
of their mighty wisdom trees.

They stared in muffled silence
as dusk crept 'cross the ground
to cloak the woods in darkness
thinking avian thoughts profound.

The savants among them pondered
the myths entrenched so deep
about their night time vigils
when they never seemed to sleep.

Why do their solemn visages
make silly humans on the earth
think the owl's night time hootings
have wondrous, sagacious worth?
