And now, an ode to Washington DC:

We love you DC, but some doubts have set in,
with motorcade traffic and lightningmaggedon.

Your branches have fallen, your power is shaky,
your metro derails, and your earth can be quakey.

Your pollen runs rampant among the trees,
and today you’re 106 degrees.

Your politics divided, your House falling down,
you ran the Chief Justice right out of town.

But you love rock and roll and the Black Cat DC is great,
with The Henry Clay People and These United States.

At 9pm we go on first not last,
so come soak up the AC and raise a glass.

Sometimes you’re tough DC, you do put up a fight,
but we still love you and we’ll see you tonight.
