I think this should be a new thread dudes and dudettes.
Here is my first submission to the Freehold Borough Poetry Thread. I am expanding beyond the Mayor Mike poems, although his leadership is inspiring.
I call my next poem simply -- "Freehold Borough Haiku"
Freehold Borough a
part of Mexico, everyone
diverse and dreamy
As raindrops fall and I sit in front of the boob tube with my girl -- she is reading some magazine -- I will be drafting poetry for the borough and people I love.
Casually Emily Dickinson

Great poem Calliope.
By the way dudes and dudettes there is a Casual wanna-be on the board who posted the poem about my proposal to my beloved dudette.
It is so hard to fight off impostors when you are the only true casual.
Casually bemused

Just when I thought you were gaining some talent, it wasn't you.  The offending post is gone. Casually moderating, Brian |

OK
There once was a Mayor named Mike
Who's town had sidwalks full of men on Bikes
When complaints came to the council
This government body chose not to hassel
They all explained that even on the sidewalks, appling state vechile code 39:4-1x simply BITES!
A bicyclist has all of the rights and duties applicable to the driver of any other vehicle by the laws and regulations of this state governing the movement of vehicles.
The following states include "bicycle" in the definition of "vehicle" and prohibit vehicle use of sidewalks: Indiana, Nevada, New Jersey, and North Dakota. Arguably, all sidewalk cycling is unlawful.

People across the Boro
With faces full of sorrow
The schools are in anguish
Because of the voter’s marrow
They twice defeated a referendum
Seeking to prevent their doom
Now they will show their young
Once again they are buffoons
They blame Mexican for overcrowding
They want the brown out of the schools
They don’t want them dreaming
They prefer to see them leaving
Now that cuts loom in the horizon
They are appalled at their situation
But they should save their indignation
These cuts are due to their inaction |

Well..I usually am very shy to do this. But I'll give this a try....it took me a while to think of this...
Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more
They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown
No?
