Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2006 7:55 am Post subject: Swallowing the City Council |
|
|
There Was a City Council
There was a City Council that swallowed a beach.
I don’t know why it swallowed the beach.
Perhaps it’s a leach.
There was a Commissioner who swallowed a seawall,
That cut off the sand that belonged to us all,
Because the City Council swallowed the beach.
I don’t know why it swallowed the beach.
Perhaps it’s a leach.
There was a developer who swallowed a dune,
What a maroon! to swallow a dune,
Because the Commissioner swallowed a seawall,
That cut off the sand that belonged to us all,
Because the City Council swallowed the beach.
I don’t know why it swallowed the beach.
Perhaps it’s a leach.
There was a Corps of Engineers that built a big jetty,
And dredged a big channel at a cost far from petty,
To rebuild the dune and put back the sand.
But the seawall still stands,
On the Commissioner’s lands,
Because the City Council swallowed the beach.
I don’t know why it swallowed the beach.
Perhaps it’s a leach.
There was a City Council that swallowed a resort,
It’s dead --- of course! |

That was great Johnny. I did not know you were a poet as well as a great representative of all of us who are so grateful for your sincere concern for the beaches that belong to the people of Texas. That was a great poem and speaks so much truth.
You are a good fisherman as well.
Thanks for all you do for all of us.
