"The Trouble With Harry Reid"

(Are Reid and Obama working for McConnell?)

What in the world is the trouble with Harry?
Why does he keep giving what he gives away?
Has Obama rubbed off, or is it vice versa?
Are they competing to help Mitch McConnell make hay?

Harry helps Mitch keep filibustering viable.
Obama helps Mitch earn his dirty coal fees.
Without filibusters Mitch is not as reliable
In gaining approval for clearing the Blue Ridge's trees.

Removal of mountain tops to get at the coal
Can be slowed up appreciably unless they are bare.
But believe it or not G.O.P. filibusters
Prompt Obama to mandate much filthier air.

Otherwise where will the mountain tops go?
Oh, some to fill our valleys and streams as we all know.
But the question remains, how much can we export?
How will the blue that they had survive their transport?

Should Mitch instead sell the Red River Valley?
Red, not blue, is his color. Right up his alley.
Refunds on what once were blue mountains? Tough to arrange.
Reflooding valleys? Does Reid dare inform him about climate change?
