27th Amendment

Kevin Devine

Some things take an hour here; some more like 200 years
The Michigander sensed his pride of place
Inflated, courting history
Dreamt his name in microfiche
And voted as the ratifying state

Jersey, next in line
Again, deprived
Never quite the bride
Left out like the college kid
Texas gadfly who started it
A thesis his professor didn’t buy

Then, became his life
Missionized!
Until the 27th passed tonight
The house can’t grant itself a raise
We can’t either! No debate!
Common sense, this or any other time

Oversatisfied
Kills his wine
“Sorry doc Looks like I was right
The modest 27th passed tonight
