Illinois -- #1 in resident net out-migration the last two years...

The hens have flown the coop Their owner mystified He hit them with his silver spoon Didn't know they had pride And now as folks leave Illinois Governor Pritzker, take a think From the tap of the hen-owner You should no longer drink

Wow, I didn't know this was happening in Illinois, Gershon. It seems our country fares better when we don't elect people raised with a silver spoon. They can be quite out-of-touch with the people they were elected to serve. An eye-opening poem! Hugs, carolyn

Oh, so, so out-of-touch are these elected officials, especially our zillionaire Governor Pritzker. You've hit the nail on the head, Carolyn! :) gw
