THPD Batters Resistance to Funding
[Not a valid template]
Some naysayers spoke:
The city is broke.
The budget’s a joke –
all mirrors and smoke
with whole lines left not filled in.
They sought to reject
our cherished project!
We serve and protect:
it’s just and correct
to grant us our new building.
When money is tight
departments must fight!
Through lax oversight
and flexing our might,
all boards ended up yielding.
Architects were paid,
and studies were made.
Since grand plans were laid
the pols were afraid
to lose support that we’re wielding.
