TIME FOR A TENANT

The "Gear" plant is ready to be sold,
most valuable land in Lynn or so we're told.

A developer we need to convince
that we had best interest

when it we did re-zone
so hopefully you'll call Lynn home.

THE TROUBLE WITH TRADITION

Hoping for a little Lady Luck.
the trend she may buck.

Three may be a crowd but there may be one more.
From what I hear tell, we won't stop at four.

In order to keep dreams alive,
the field of candidates may reach five.

It comes down to who'll best represent
our varied views, surely to vent.

THE LUCK OF THE DRAW

We must move to bolster
the safety of the holster.

If by accident the gun one does obtain
from stray violence we cannot abstain.

Time to sound the alarm
before another suffers harm.

THE SHOT HEARD AROUND THE TOWN

Many will not be satisfied
with the ruling of justified.

Claims will be made
that racism will not fade.

Don't mean to sound the alarm
about the impending harm.

Due to the surprise
about the treuth seen through different eyes.

COURTING SUITORS

So it goes
as traffic flows.

For coffee wants no light
cause on the run gets the slogan right!

In court is their next brew
papers to file, preparing to sue.

The question for our business climaste comes through.
Will it take one lump or two?

ONE MORE TIME ON SOMEONE ELSE'S DIME

Lost because of Lynn
so he's at it again.

His grapes have been sour
but maybe this time will be his hour.

With money from the outside,
voter's to be taken for a ride.

With them he'll go
though he pretends not to know.

At his party they'll be no play
for one named RICHARD TISEI

CLINGING TO THE LAST WORD

Despite questions of jurisdiction
she came with a prediction.

In 2015 voting will return
just not at the place for which  you yearn.

In this contest in which we piss,
she claims final say so your hopes to dismiss.

EYES ON HIS PRIZE

Leaving public service for private pay.
No hypocrisy here just the American way.

Non-profit doesn't mean no profit, by the way.
Still another example of how politics can pay.

NO DIPLOMA NEEDED


<p>Police taped off areas surrounding 198 Curwin Circle in Lynn to investigate a Sunday afternoon shooting.</p>

The time to end violence is now
on that no one would disagree.

The question everyone asks is how
With all answers, education is key.

Lessons need to be learned
so values can be discerned.

Before another life comes to an end,
we need to show how to be a friend.

AN APPRECIATION OF POETRY

To no one's surprise
for the makeover I was passed by.

After all, truth and trust aren't always the same
and let's face it, some of my rhymes are pretty lame.

So at cost of being loyal
on their behind, I will remain a BOIL.

LET'S BE ADULT ABOUT IT!

About the lack of parent involvement they complain
yet there is one fact they fail to explain.

That is how in the evening, closed school buildings remain.
Reconciling this this faulty logic, drives me insane!

PAY TO PASS

Jobs and cash are coming, only there are not a guarantee
but that but it's only the benefits politicians see.

Crime and traffic sure to rise.
Voters approval will take two tries.

For a chance, the dice they'll roll
never realizing we'll pay a toll.

BEFORE AGAIN

Who you going to believe?
No matter the party
politicans like to decieve.

Promises of no pain ahead
cause to say, "What the hey!",
we all like sliced bread.

HYPOCRITS AND MISFITS

Judy helped to push the Bond
even though spending she claims to not be fond.

But she found political power a brand new drug,
now on state aid they may now pull the plug.

It's all part of the games politicans play
so I can't wait to say,

"How do you like me now?"
when the state kills the cash cow.

NEW FRIENDS, OLD WAYS

A reelected Mayor who is definitely smart
hopes to make a brand new start.

An agenda to be pushed through Council
with a new President hopes to control.

With many problems ahead,
proposed solutions will cause dread.

While it is true you can't spend your way out,
willingness to sacrifice is always in doubt.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Tie to come together,
no matter what the weather.

It doesn't have to be a storm
to make teamwork the norm.

Today we may know how
but tomorrow;\'s political forecast remains foul.
