The U.S. House will vote a measure designed to block the federal government's transition from traditional incandescent light bulbs to more energy-efficient options. Some GOP conservatives feel government is trying to be Big Brother. The so-called BULB Act is expected to face an uphill battle in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Dim View
The light bulb's the latest invention
That seems to be causing some tension;
Some Republicans seem to feel smothered
Over what they call being Big Brothered.
So after quite a bit of debate,
They'll try to decide the bulb's fate.
But after the House takes its bite,
The Senate may turn out the light.
