Wisconsin politico poem #2

“What’s disgusting?” “Union busting!” “What’s disgusting?” “Union busting!” your IT reporter is abroad today folks on the front line, the curb before the wisconsin school for the deaf in delavan our sign-bristling crowd is mustering pretty loud chants even though half the gang is hearing impaired they have drums though and are signing with vigor it was here my deafening grampa came to learn hand spelling and lip reading no ASL yet I wonder if governor walker and the GOP will strip this school of its seasoned staff, cut their salaries? two hundred thousand will converge on madison tomorrow I’ll be one of them I look forward to the cavalcade of ancient tractors promised to circle the square farmers are pissed too
