We Americans gratefully pay our respects
To our forebears who bravely had stuck out their necks
In risky endeavors that built the foundation
To bear all the weight of our bourgeoning nation.
Through colonial times to the wild, wooly West,
To merely survive was one helluva test!
But few old-time professions could meet the distress
Of the cowboys who rode for the Pony Express!
Those couriers traveled untamed Western land
Where Hostiles staged raids like in “Custer’s Last Stand.”
How could anything be in the least bit as harrowing
As being the target of Indian arrowing?
Though delivering mail nowadays is secure,
Those “shooting the messenger” tactics endure.
We envision Obama-ites, hidden by boulders,
With their quiver of arrows and bows on their shoulders,
Just waiting for someone displaying the nerve
To encroach on their ideologic preserve.
If you wonder just how being ambushed must feel,
Ask those good folks at WellPoint -- who’ve felt it for real!
This insurance provider for several states
Was requested by Congress to study the rates
Of changes in premiums coming about
If ObamaCare leftists in Congress win out.
So WellPoint replied with exhaustive descriptions
Of impacts on costs for MDs and prescriptions.
If you’re healthy and young - not addicted or crippled -
Your premium payment will likely be tripled.
But small business and couples avoid this big trouble --
Their cost of insurance would simply just double.
Before ink was dry on the final report,
The Democrats screamed with their standard retort:
The review “twisted facts” for “results that were skewed…”
How could anyone think they would ever be screwed
By elegant, erudite men like Barack?
These ridiculous claims are an absolute crock!
So WellPoint now joins with Humana as samples
Of those upon whom Barack’s war machine tramples.
The One claims he’s cleaning up other folks’ mess --
As if what he’s doing is such a success.
But we would suggest that there’s more disarray
From the carnage of those who would dare to convey
Information that causes Obama dismay.
Compared to those messengers working today,
The Pony Express was a roll in the hay!
