Uniform Building Code Coda

Post by FredWaringWasMoney »

Is this why Washington quartered at Valley Forge
So I needed red tape to build a front porch?

Is this why the messenger Paul Revere rode
So I needed a plumber to install a commode?

Is this why we beat the Nazi menace back
To lose our shirts and carpenter's crack?

Pennsylvanians! Open your eyes!
Let us take our stand!
Uniform Codes accessorize
with swastika armbands!

Freds Words doth Ring Hollow

Thou thinkst that the code wouldst be bad
That they trample thy rights, O Mac Dad
But wouldst thou like to dwell
Near a ramshackle h*ll?
Where the roofs were all pink
And the sewers didst stink?

It tooks years to review
The code you eschew
But it wouldst be absurd
To ignore the phrase often heard
I'm from the government and I'm here to help you

Rome wasn't built in a day,
Tis what all the poets say,
but built not on codes
covenants or zones
and all Emperor Nero's fiddle play

Or when in Tyrone true
Do as Tyroners all do
Paint your house pink
Let your sewers stink
All Section 8 roads lead unto you!
