Ralph's Lament

I had a little village
I made it from my town
But, when I ran for mayor
I just got voted down
.
I'm told some folks don't like me
and claim I lie from time to time
It's just that I'm imaginative
Is that really such a crime
.
Some call me a mean bully
Now, that really makes me sore
I would never act that way
That's what Bob and Don are for
.
Roxanne kept me out of Goshen
Rich took my ZBA chair
No one will let me run things
And I don't think that's fair
.
You might think that I'm finished
'Cause all my plans were hexed
Don't be so quick to count me out
Just watch what I do next

Happy Holidays to all my fellow bloggers. It really was a good year,when you think about it.

It is good to see verse acurate and true,
Such a lament makes you wonder what he'll (Ralph) will do,
I often wonder why he is such a misericord,
Then I realize he thinks he is Woodbury's Lord!

A misery Ralph is.

A misericord (misericordia) - an act of mercy - he ain't.

Ah Uncle, I knew you would notice that; however, I was refering to the actual long thin bladed knife that was traditionally used in mercy killings by Lords and such. I was also refering to Ralph as delusional; perhaps he sees himself as someone with the power and responsibility to use or be such misericords. Just my little bit of obscure humour.

Ralph has validity in his lament,
After all ain't he heaven sent?
Doesn't he share our intent?
If not, my heart and soul will be rent!

Replete with charm he calls us to attention,
And we learn from his invention,
Filled with knowledge and wonderous mirth,
We see that he is heaven on Earth!

So when Ralph laments and sends us his Seibold,
We must accept it as if it were gold,
Because if Ralph says so then Don is true,
And we should do what they want us to do!

NOT!!!

Does anyone know what is going on with Camp LaGuardia? Why do we have to buy it just to close it? Is this another one of Eddies plans to make contractors rich?

its either the county buys it or KJ does..and THEY ARE LOOKING TO BUY IT!!! all they would need to do is buy land along the 17 corridor through blooming grove to make the connection to the camp. then we will just have traded one problem for another.

Seriously, why does it always go back to some developer making money.
How about the county buys it, a developer builds something for the county on the property, and we all win. Of course whoever builds something for the county is going to make money. SO WHAT! Do you expect a develper to do it for free?

On a different note, did anyone see the third Party that a few well known actors and actresses are attempting to push for the 2008 elections? The name of the Party is Unity08..............I think we may have started a revolution in politics.

Who, pray tell, is on this so called Unity 08 Party? Could it possibly be our dear old friends from the Preservation Party? Hmmm.... are they back?
