POEM: Coeur d’Alene

There was a little city

That grew and grew

They rubber stamped every development

That came along and was new.

Now we have a biggie

They call it Coeur Terre

But do they think on

What it is like to drive around here?

A lot more people is what we need

To make the traffic more of a mess

But the wise ones gave it “the green light”

They must commute by Helicopter I guess.

There is little interest in what we common folk

Think or say

Revenue and glitzy stuff

Has always held it’s sway.
