An ODEar

Strange days, these cheddarheads, we have seen.
Our Governor rules with iron fist,
A heart of stone, he's kind of mean.
Like Santy Claus, he's made a list,
Intends to make the teachers pay.
Refuses to budge, a mulish badger,
Dictatorship runs the day,
Thinks unions filled with artful cadgers.
Walker sidles with the money makers,
A broken state, how do we fix?
He's forgotten the movers, the middle class shakers,
Seems all we do is throw stones and sticks

The children pay,
Isn't that the way?
