Vince Suzadail Jr. Poet Rhyme

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.
