Gershon Wolf Poet Political Verse

Notes About The Poem

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

The Hens Have Flown the Coop

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

Carolyn Devonshire March 14, 2021 at 2:45 PM 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 Gershon Wolf March 14, 2021 at 7:23 PM 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
