Trumbull's Political Poet: "Stern Village Lament"

There is a new Trumbull Housing Authority Board and the executive director will be replaced at some point.

 

 

                       By

 

                Carol Hudak

(sung to the tune of "Home on the Range")

 

 

Verse I

         Oh, give us a home,

          where civility roams,

          and Mommy H.

          is many miles away . . .

 

 

          Where seldom is heard,

          A stern and un-wise word,

          And our old commissioners

          have come back to stay.

          Oh . . .

 

Chorus:

          Home, home on Hedgehog Circle-Road,

          Where there's no longer peace

          if you're old . . . 

          We're not musty old fools,

          We're not political tools . . .

          O, you MUST leave Stern Village today.

 

Verse II

           We did nothing to you,

           To deserve this 'P-U'

           That you're dumping on us

           each and every way . . .

 

           We've got brains in our heads,

           And we're nowhere near dead,

            O, you MUST

            leave Stern Village, today.

            Oh . . .

 

Final Chorus:

            Home, home on Hedgehog Circle-Road,

            Where there's no longer peace

             if you're old . . .

            We're not musty old fools,

            We're not political tools . . .

            O, you MUST leave Stern Village,

                   -Muster your troops -

                   -Stop the pillage -

              Stop all the fuss and muss,

              AND JUST GO AWAY!!!

   

                      You MUST!
