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 We propose a splash pad and atrium there Rink, studios and hall We can fit in them all 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 And we all agree that the concept's not wrong But we've been down this road So instead of a Code  Why don't they try harder to just get along?  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 --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2019-03-15 18:46:55 Post date GMT: 2019-03-15 22:46:55 Post modified date: 2019-03-15 18:47:05 Post modified date GMT: 2019-03-15 22:47:05 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
