Twas six days before Christmas

'Twas six days before Christmas, when all through DU
Not a poster was happy, not me and not you;
Joe Manchin appeared in a Reliable Sources chair,
To announce to the nation that he doesn’t care;
The children’s investments, BBB, that Biden led
Weren’t getting his support he announced with dread;
And mamma in her 'kitchen and I in my cap,
Watched our brains exploding as tempers went snap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
DUers logged in to see what was the matter.
Straight to our keyboards in a split second flash,
Turned up the volume and began to trash
The asshole from WV but most of us did know,
He would fuck up progressives on a television show,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
That corporate tool with nary a care.
With a face full of evil and speech so quick,
I knew in a moment he was a first rate dick
