Harbor Sludge Queen

Out of the bowels of Harrisburg Comes a new woman on the scene She's head of environmental pollution She's known as the Harbor Sludge Queen She's in charge of polluting our county And putting the environment in a rut While her boss, the infamous Mr. Ed Has his nose buried in athlete's butt It doesn't do any good to scream and holler And our right to choose is naught Please publish her picture in the newspaper So we can see what corporate America just bought We were told the sludge is beneficial But no matter what you call it The only place it's beneficial Is to our politician's wallet When your child asks you Daddy, why is the grass so green Tell him it won't be green for long Thanks to the Harbor Sludge Queen Their long range plan is simple Pollute the mountains and all in between Then buy the properties for nothing Courtesy of the Harbor Sludge Queen. Dedicated to the Department of Environmental Protection Who is allowing the dumping of fly ash mixed with dredging from the New York Harbors to be dumped in the unlined mine pits in our area. They are already responsible for the death of Troy Behun, an 11 year old child and Daniel Pennock a 17 year old. They've already spent the almost unlimited super fund money in Pennsylvania. As with most government agencies, total incompetence and gross negligence prevails.
