Seize The Opportunity, Yo
To the Editor:
My message today comes as a neighbor and friend, not as a member of the Legislative Council and Chair of its Finance Committee. While the words of eminent philosophers always abound, here’s a paraphrase of the one they call Eminem. It’s about the funding referendum scheduled for this Saturday, October 5, at the Middle School.
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize something you need. One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo
Lose yourself in the munificence, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
Lose yourself in the munificence, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
Success is our only option, failure's not
Chalk Hill, I love you, but this it’s not Home
Our kids can’t grow old in Monroe's lot
So here I go, it's my shot.
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
So people don’t fail now,
Don’t get distracted wow
Saturday’s comin’, it’ll soon be here
You can find the Middle School so you won’t shed a tear
And vote for the gift that coming our way
If I can only get there and vote to say, yay
You can do anything you set your mind to, Newtown.
Vote the way you want but, please join me in voting. I’ll be voting either aye, yes, in the affirmative, or all of the above.
Thanks.
George Ferguson
Legislative Council, District One
