PER DIEM (to the tune of West Side Story's Maria)
Per diem, I just got another per diem.
For coming to the floor.
And doing nothing more,
All day ...
Per diem ...
My goal is to save my per diem.
To eat and drink all day,
While lobbyists, they pay,
For me ...
Per diem Say it loud and it sounds appealing
Say it soft 'cause it's pretty much stealing
Per diem, I'll never stop taking per diems
True Freedom
The Bible says, by nature I am the
child of wrath;
That everlasting sorrow is reached by
such a path:
But Christ in love and mercy received
God's wrath for me;
By God's grace I've been delivered;
Christ has set me free.
IN His Grace, Michael Melice
