"Vallejo Ain't Taking This Shit....Lying Down" Poem by James B. Earley

March them through the streets of town
.....Every crooked paycheck found
Have them prosecuted world renowned
Vallejo ain't taking this shit lying down

Handcuffs.....enough...four pair will do
....Escort 'em out - all in plain view
A Council Meeting's the proper setting
'Tis the scene of the crime we ain't forgetting

.......An honest body it once staffed
Putrid odors wayward wafts
......Whole damn city got the shaft
Now pissed.......it crafts an epitaph

......"Four Recalcitrant Scoundrels....All"
May the New Year claim their downfall
Though the wheels of justice seem to have stalled
......FBI soon....one day will come to call

And escort 'em out....yes in plain view
......Handcuffs....enough...four pair will do
The scene of the crime we ain't forgetting....
Thus....a Council meeting....'tis just the right setting

....Parade them through cities miles around
Publicly give each clown...a dressing down
Then violently throw their asses out of town
.......Announced televised......world renowned

Author's note:
Referencing a specific City Council "foursome" - A New Years resolution...of sorts.
