Farewell to Diane Mudge

A Board of Ed member named Mudge
On spending she just would not budge
She said "Why spend in haste?
"Let's first cut the waste
"In detail through budget let's trudge"

To everyone she did confide
She found a new place to reside
From education
She made resignation
'Cause she moved to the Farmington side

While principals eat out at Max's
Diane will now pay less taxes
Getting more for her money
Her days will be sunny
And instead of board meetings, relaxes

Meanwhile in West Hartford town
Conservatives are feeling down
Claire Kindall will party
And feel like a smarty
In increasing taxes we'll drown!

Lib Brassil will take Diane's place
And others will enter the race
To fill Diane's shoes
The public will choose
A fresh new conservative face

Diane, may good luck follow you
As you bid West Hartford adieu
But without you to fight
To keep spending tight
What will us conservatives do?
