Kevin McCarthy To Resign After Losing Speakership

Weeks before, the vote that dashed his hopes came crashing down
McCarthy's Speaker dreams snatched away, prospects wore a frown
Though he persevered for a time, the writing on the wall

Showed the Freedom caucus unswayed, unwilling to be called

The votes never materialized, no matter how he tried
His endless concessions only served to divide
Weary of repeating lost cause, dignity needed saving
McCarthy then chose to exit the Speaker-seeking fraying

So on December the sixth, with the House in chaos steeped
McCarthy strode to the well, composure he kept
He announced to the chamber, intent clear as a bell
That he'd resign his leadership, and bid the House farewell

For the path ahead was marred, prospects dark and dire
And continuing the fight would gain nothing but ire
By exiting the scene, he hoped the fever would break
And a new leader could bring unity in his wake

It was not how he envisioned his leadership end
But fate had not fortune or votes to send
Now looking ahead, beyond power's narrow eye
Perhaps his legacy would be to give compromise a try
