Bipartisanship, do tell me, where has it gone?
I’ve been trying to find it for ever so long
I’ve looked on the left, and glanced on the right
And friendship ‘tween parties is nowhere in sight

Bipartisanship, though a word not oft heeded
May be the very concept most direly needed
As tempers flare in the Senate and House
Bipartisan principles we must try and espouse

The country has traveled too far down the path
Of angry and bitter partisan wrath
We must take a step back and somberly assess
Before policy turns into a horrible mess

Though the left and the right don’t always agree
And locked in opposition they oft may be
For the good of the country they must try to transcend
And working together, broken fences must mend

For one-sided policy does never quite last
New Commanders in Chief toss it out with the past
And back and forth our legislation does go
Until the public’s quite sick of the to-and-fro

So Republicans and Democrats, come forth, unite!
Cease with the bickering, the hatred, the spite
Reach over and shake hands across the aisle
Meet your comrades in legislature with a welcoming smile.

This holiday, let friendship reign all
And peace spread forth in the Capitol’s halls
With 2010 could come meaningful reform
If only we help good relationships form

Night and day, PSA shall tirelessly toil
Until Congress rests free of partisan turmoil
