Today, SD on the QT welcomes Mrs. Regina Snoot, Chairwoman of the La Jolla Ladies Who Lunch club. Mrs. Snoot recently attended a speech given by Governor Jerry Brown here in San Diego on behalf of Proposition 30. The measure seeks to avoid cuts to California's public schools and universities by imposing a temporary sales tax increase and a slightly higher rate of income tax on the state's wealthiest individuals. Mrs. Snoot has prepared a verse response to Governor Brown's speech, and we are pleased to share it with our readers here.
Governor Brown
Came to town
To plead
Against greed
And pitch his plan,
The silly man.
For things we bought,
The rascal sought
To place a tax
Upon our backs.
And all for what?
To dodge a cut
To public schools!
Does he think us fools?
Why should we care
To freely share
Our hard-earned gains
With churlish swains?
Has he forgot
(Or wasn’t he taught)
Rich who think of the poor
Soon aren’t rich any more?
As for me
(And as for we
Who can afford
The room and board)
My kids will stay
Above the fray
At Country Day
And Torrey Pines
Will be just fine
And fill what it lacks
With property tax
From La Jolla manses
Or fundraising dances
At a thousand a head –
Who says charity’s dead?
It’s hale and hearty
And ready to party!
But as times get harder
It must get smarter
And aim its largesse
At those who progress.
There’s a truth we must face
In the human race
Someone must take last place,
And it can’t be me
So it must be thee.
Poor Jerry Brown
His prop’s going down.
