The USDA defines jerky as a “dense meat that has been made lightweight by drying”

It seems with the new Congress there will be 19 members that are 80 and up. That’s a lot of adult diapers the taxpayers will be supplying

The USDA also states that jerky is shelf stable and requires no refrigeration

The only item required by these geriatric members is a constant donation

They’ve been around for years. But one has to question, why are they still there?

They’ve all grown richer at your expense but don’t expect help from them in your region as that’s your own cross to bear

They keep getting voted in because you as a voter recognize their name, and they’ve done nothing to put themselves in the electors’ crosshairs

If they can lie low long enough thanks to their free healthcare, they can continue to sop up the gravy and become multi-millionaires

It doesn’t matter one bit about party affiliation, they’re very comfortable with their lot in life

Flying in above the electorate, one shouldn’t miss the welcoming luncheon, while all the poor folk struggle with their daily strife

Democrat or Republican, the geezers are in. They may not like the majority policies but kay sera sera, whatever will be will be

So please pass the lobster and champagne as all is good. Just don’t try to redistrict their area or you’ll hear them scream like a banshee

So here’s to your longevity and compassion. I sincerely believe the signed message just above your request for another donation

Though you’ve represented my region for seven terms, I know you’ve never visited this location

It’s long pastime for term limits on both houses and an age limit for the candidates and elected members

Before the entire congress has the memory of their own “big guy” who would call you by name if he only remembers
