ELCO School Board Poet

Looking for change on Elco board

Editor:

Up until May I was quiet and mellow

I didn't say a word

I was a harmless old fellow.

But right before the primary

I paid a visit to Bo

And just like the school board

He didn't understand "No."

He wound me up plenty

And thought he was funny

Never thinking I'd ask them

To show me the money.

So I wrote to the editor

A great man, indeed

Who put my letters in the paper

So that all could read.

People on the street

Tell me I'm right

But from those who oppose

Not even a sight.

They post letters on a blog

Try to bring me shame

But they don't have the guts

To tell me their names.

Hidden and secretive

Just like the facts.

Public oversight of the school board

Has obviously been lax.

A new school board we'll get.

||ýPage=006 Column=001 OK,0000.00þ|| It's complexion will change.

To those who must work with them

It will seem very strange.

A Superintendent controlled board

Will never do

That is why they pushed

That new building through

So why did our school board

Use no common sense?

Is it because

our superintendent is dense?

Vote Gardener, Mark, Boyer, Houtz, Souders and Bernard in Elco.

No one can say that this man is humble

He decided to let our precious schools crumble

You wasted our time as you sit there and gloat

But you kind forgot we all had a vote

He ran for office as the hate for him mounted

But was out of a job when the votes were counted

He even broke some laws and felt no shame

People cringe when they mention his name.

2 years ago a man walked the town

Now when he walks, his heads pointed down.

For years he was a professional

that's what he was claiming

A designer of sorts who had no training

The Board would ask what he thought

Until that day, he ended up caught

Now which document are we to believe?

In two more months it's your turn to leave.

When you lie to the public its not very cool.

Now you expect us to pity a fool.

Now every day you may want to cry.

You can only blame yourself for telling a lie.

Hey 86?
is that from Seussical the Musical? LOL
