Poetry Break - Hey Arnold!

Hey, Arnold - Mr. Schwarzenegger,
our Governator, true

Where would Californians be, if we
didn't have you?


$42 billion in debt,
(well, that's not really so bad...)

Increase our taxes?
(Why not? We'll give more and be glad!)

Cut funds for education?
(Yes! Gotta save a few cents. In this time of recession, that only makes sense.)

Hard moves and painful,
but we must try to be fair.
Have you a plan that will bring us, 
from not-so-nice here,
to much-better there?

One wonders in these days
of economic malaise,
can the actor govern - bring relief without delays?
Or is the governor acting,
drifting, reacting,
And we're all just props in his plays?

Hey Arnold - Mr. Schwarzenegger,
our Governator, it's true...

Do right by us, please,
We voted for you!

A comment on the collective "we."
It doesn't incude me.

Me either, but what's the difference now? We are all in this together and he needs to make it work - for all of us.
