Ode to the election | Letter

Published 11:37 am Wednesday, March 20, 2013

Once upon a time in these islands quite fair,

An election was held and council was pared.

Some citizens were happy, others were not,

But such was the outcome that election had wrought.

Now come two candidates, proven records have both,

Business sense they possess, service their oath.

Many citizens know of their actions, others know not,

So be careful of the outcome this election may wrought.

Is it big outside money a councilman makes?

Or years of service and dedication – is that what it takes?

Some citizens want local rule, others may not,

So be wary of the outcome this election may wrought.

Who be these fine fellows of sound mind and great heart,

Who pledge to serve by putting Horse before Cart?

Many citizens know! Bob Jarman and Rick Hughes!

So be wary of false prophets and spread the good news!

Shari and Harold Harrison
