WHAT PRICE TOO HIGH?

In order to bring together in unity
a garden was planted in a community.

Payments for plots now to be
part of the HIGHLAND reality.

Price becomes a condition
of a misguided ambition.

Price and cost are a different situation,
progress, another victim of tradition.

HERE FOR HONG

Hong invited me to his swearing in.
I'd like to go as his new found friend.

With my rhymes, I did help him win.
Time to celebrate, what has been.

At seven at night I won't see a cloud
From the challenges, he was not cowed.

So if I can, I'll be in the crowd.
To hear him take the oath out loud.

NO BLUE CODE AT RED LIGHT

Acts that are unnatural, what could they be?
Getting caught, makes one trooper try to run free.

Undercover in his underwear in an unmarked
car, late in the night his car was parked.

Thanks to the police of Lynn,
a state cop was arrested of a sin.

Seems like the Gang Unit was his beat,
he was just trying to get the word on the street.

Speaking is not the only thing the mouth is used for.
Actions can sometimes give you more.

NO CAN CAN

Cannin's got to go
or at least the Mayor says so.

She said maybe on a dare,
"Let's put up a put up a toll booth in Wyoma Square"

Kids are being left on their own
soliciting nickels and dimes all alone.

Judy wonders where their coaches be
and how they let these kids run free.

It's a different world out there now.
An adult is need to show them how.

ONCE BITEN, TWICE WHAT?

Houses can be destroyed
By the ravenous bite
Of a small low-flying.
insect called a termite.

Or on rare occasions
An airborne car
On it's way home,
Perhaps from a bar.

When it happens for a
Second time it might behove
A serious consideration of
A relocation or move.

THROWING THE BOOK

Bullies used to slap your face
And could be stopped with the use of mace.

Times have changed and its plain to see
And many worry who your friends might be.

Concern about teachers has raised much commotion
By politicians with questionable devotion.

The real issue has now become clear,
students are the ones student's need to fear.

POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

It has been said that votes
don't always equal signs
but with the new census,
these are different times.

Flowers often sprout
in many a yard
from primary to general
candidates campaign hard.

Support, the people
do proudly show.
Now to the polls,
if only they will go.
