Utah Headlines & Verse. Saturday. June 10. 2017.

UTAH TEENS FACE TERRIBLE CHOICE THIS SUMMER: EITHER ATTEND MATH CAMP OR GET A JOB.

There was a young boy out in Vernal
Who thought summer jobs were infernal.
His dad down did clamp --
Said “Work or math camp!”

“I won’t have you round here diurnal.”


SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL MUST EITHER CUT PROGRAMS OR RAISE TAXES -- GUESS WHICH ONE IS THE MORE LIKELY . . . 

When faced with the decision to cut programs or raise cash
By adding further taxes, councils opt for balderdash.
Wringing hands and weeping, they put ashes on their clothes --
And then proceed to make the populace pay through the nose.
The only place where taxes never rise up to enslave

Is when you’re cold and buried in a cozy little grave.




In Salt Lake if you don’t show tact,
They throw you in jail -- that’s a fact.
Despite all your tears,
You’ll do twenty years --
They like to see ev’ry cell packed.

                            CULTURE CLASH AT A CHINESE-RUN PLANT IN OHIO 

Glassmakers who work in Moraine
Do not like their Chinese domain.
They’re told to work fast
Or jobs will not last --

And they only get paid in chow mein.
