Poetic Trolley Talk

The GUARDIAN poet laureate “Paul” has weighed in with a short take on the trolley issue.

Sixty million for a downtown trolley
The mayor says “Yes, by golly!”
He’s on the wrong track
As a matter of fact
It will become known as Bieter’s Folly!

  1. The mayor seems to be enamored with both large and small rail travel varieties, I tried to cover both….

    We don’t need that Amtrak crack
    Is that not an obvious fact?
    No one wants refurbished rail
    Why resurrect an obsolete trail?

    We don’t need your crony car
    Why would I hitch from bar to bar?
    No one wants steel in de street
    Who is this mayor who seeks defeat?

  2. Sixty million…
    Per project or per mile?
    City leaders in denial
    Business owners feel defiled.
    Stimulus, spendulous, taxation!

    Old cronies are circling:
    $90 thousand on the docket.
    “More funding for my pocket,
    and for campaign contributions.”
