D.C. budget season
July 28, 2009
It’s clear that the council is stressed
From how all the bloggers were pressed
Wells seemed a bit bitter
Said please do not Twitter
Free speech yields at no man’s behest!
With budget talks well underway
A. Fenty was echoed by Gray
If earmarks were nixed
Results would be mixed
But worth the nonprofits’ dismay?
So what about cutting some perks
From people who staff Public Works?
Would cars be a rarity
With parking parity
Each policy fix has its quirks
-D.L.
The natives are getting restless
July 28, 2009
I hope you’re not put on the spot,
But it’s high time you fired some shot.
Our limericist
Is most grievously missed.
D.L.: Shit or get off the pot!
Your time off, you know, is all done.
While we trust it was good wholesome fun,
It’s time for your pen
To become active again.
You’re no longer on vaca-tion!
-Publius
