Minnesota Government on Verge of Winter Shut Down




The Minnesota Legislature will have to start furloughing employees in December and completely shut down by February, unless there’s a resolution to the monthslong political and legal conflict between Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders.  from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.


The Minnesota government will shut down very soon.
It’s enough to make me cry and go into a swoon!
How can snow for skiing be created without some
Bureaucrat who snow-jobs while he sits upon his bum?

No lutefisk or lefse will be processed by the state --
Which means church basement suppers will now meet an awful fate!
And skating rinks will close because of some line item veto --
And will the Winter Carnival be forced to really eat crow?

The roads will not be plowed and with no license for ice fishing
No eel pouts will be caught, filleted, and fried up for the dishing.
If the legislature and the Governor must feud,

I say we dump ‘em in a lake without an Evinrude.
