OFF TO CANCÚN and FLY ME TO CANCÚN

OFF TO CANCÚN

 

So if you're a U.S. Senator

And your state is besieged by cold,

Extreme weather, putting the state

In a catastrophic stranglehold,

 

With power outages, houses flooding

From bursting pipes, people dying,

Shortages of food and supplies--

The situation terrifying--

 

How do you help your constituents?

How do you show them that you are in tune

With all their pain and misery?

I know: why not fly to Cancún?

 

Ask Ted Cruz. That's what he did.

He did it for his kids, he said.

Why suffer here when he could

Play on a Mexican beach instead?

 

Actually, he cut his trip short,

And flew back home earlier than planned,

Only because he'd gotten caught

And had to leave the sun and sand.

 

Cruz reveals how little he cares

About the people and dodges attacks.

In a crisis, leadership matters.

And that is something the Senator lacks.

FLY ME TO CANCÚN

 

(This poem can be sung to the melody of the song "Fly Me to the Moon" by Bart Howard.)

 

Fly me to Cancún

So I can play upon the sand.

Let me get away from Texas.

Cold I can't withstand.

I want to play…in the sun.

I want to play….Who will miss me?

 

People in my state

Should understand what it's about.

I don't think the government

Should have to bail you out.

Just blame the Dems; they're the cause.

Yeah, blame the Dems, and their laws.

 

Anyone who wants

To leave can do it if they choose.

I am being attacked

Just because my name's Ted Cruz.

Some people say I'm not fair.

In simple words…

In simple words

I don't care.
