And make the king a bit harder to follow,

So a few might cede to the following deal,

Which in this verse I shall now reveal,

A deal that breaks the deadlock now locked,

And restores some faith to those of us shocked.

.

Chuck Schum' calls the White House to thus effuse:

''Don, here's an offer you cannot refuse.

It'll raise the debt limit, reopen our gov',

Won't cost you a nickel or the pain thereof.

Remember that pen on your Walk of Prez Fame?

Just put up Biden, and we'll call off this game.''

.

Yes, make this offer, Chuck, full-throated and loud,

Making Trump choose to be practical or proud.

Is he willing to keep all closed o'er a pen?
