INSIDE AURORABy Scott Johnston While it's still early in 2019, there is a lot going on in our Town, so let's take a moment to take a look at some news items so far this year in Aurora through that well-known story telling device, the limerick. Windrows A local said “Council, I stand here before you Please have the Town's windrows ploughed, I implore you” But Council did say “Just wait until May It's cheaper for us if the sun melts them for you” Cannabis With the coming legalization of pot The Town's opinions going forward were sought Are you against or you for A retail cannabis store? Council responded with a definite “Not” Library Square Stated the architect “At Library Square But don't ask for more as there's no room to spare” Pot Holes Aurora's pot holes this year've made us shout That they're a pain in the “axle's” no doubt Their increase in number's been steep With some so horrendously deep That if stuck you need a hand to get out Code of Conduct Council's desire for a Code of Conduct's been
strong But we've been down this road So instead of a Code Elections How many campaigns can residents take? There's another one this fall, for Pete's sake! Debates, ads and sound bites we'll hear After two elections last year You'd think at last we'd be given a break Parking In the GO parking you circle in vain And are skunked for a spot once again It's a sure guarantee By the time one comes free It will be too late to catch the last train Hydro Funds Council was living a Hydro Fund high Dreaming of all of the things it could buy But funds spent at this pace And not being replaced Will soon see this well of cash running dry Winter For months we've endured a long-standing trend Of a sustained arctic ice and snow blend While in its white blanket our city Has looked especially pretty We all wish winter would finally end Feel free to e-mail Scott at: machellscorners@gmail.com 1 |
