McEUEN: Two can play rhyme game

A verse appeared upon my table

It was from Mister Kane.

I looked to see if Kane was able

To recall judgment gain.

As we all know and some will state

When someone’s claims are made.

A monument they then create

Where grievances are laid.

A city torn, it daily seems

And always its McEuen.

Do we create a Field of Dreams

Or leave it to its ruin?

Upon this issue some will say

Voters will remember.

To that I note they’ll have their day:

It’s coming next November.

To have a choice before that date

Four thousand folks must sign.

To challenge funding on the plate

That many say is fine.

The irony in all of this,

The Center of the talk.

Should be the money they’d have missed

Provided by Joan Kroc.

Or Education Corridors

Now built within the town.

All owing to the course of four

Who brought us this renown.

To recall them, there’s no excuse

Or, have this troubled time.

For generations, children’s use

I urge: ‘Decline to Sign’.
