JWG's Tomorrow Today — Decorating (a poem)

Wherein JWG pays homage to Judy Garland.

Decorating

It’s a good thing I found Judy
As a mature entertainer
And not just a young performer
Wishing to be over Rainbows.
I needed the courage to Love.

Combining the colors
Into a Rainbow Flag
Was the inspiration
That brought US together.
We all have to be brave.

Decorating
With bright garlands
Brings a chance to
Symbolize that
Love’s here to stay.

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be made…Read More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
