from Rep. John Lesch:
I wrote this poem in midst of an hours-long debate on the house floor last session. Karen Clark
and Mark Olson had a back-and-forth (that took forever) when Rep. Olson attempted an amendment
to prohibit domestic partner benefits for state workers. Floor session started at noon. I
wrote this around 2 a.m.

This August body has my attention when policy directs convention. We roil and shout on themes complex but waste our breath to parse gay sex. |
|
Until such time we terminate The restless up here ruminate On where for breakfast we shall bite As no one’s leaving here tonight! |
|
So willingly I fortune ride On duty wrought for tougher hide And listen for the dinner bell For more than hunger pangs to quell. |
|
My steeds are never out of breath: Pest’lence, Famine, War and Death From Revelation all will ride If this amendment has not died. |
