Snohomish Planning Director Drops Drunken Trou At Cozy Master Builders Golf Soiree.

I recently read this article in the Seattle Times

I can only say I was deeply saddened by this tragic turn of events.

I would just like to encourage everyone to write a small poem for Mr. Craig Ladiser... he's going through some tough times right now, and a little clarity and reflection via the written word may be just the thing he needs.

I have hurriedly written the following, but I am sure it can be improved upon:


weekday afternoon golf
chummy chummy chatty golf
red-faced golf
with the MBA.

good times
eventually bring a
thought-out shout-out
to the girl on the green behind.

crisply bellowed syllables
of gray-haired penis sizes.
we hear much more
and fail to cringe
or act
accordingly

(really?
I did not know that.
tell me more
about your dick.
please.)

A thin veneer of governmental competence
fleetingly afire at first, then fully aflame
in the sweaty, heady vapor
of a Jack Daniels blackout.

My public servant
has let me down,
imploding ingloriously on
my thin tax dime.

but I worry needlessly.
in a few months
he will be installed again.

drinking
and chumming.
somewhere.



Story:

There was a strong letter to the editor in the Everett Herald pointing out that the real lewd act was county officials rubbing elbows with the MBA. I thought it was a good point.

The Everett Herald had an article in Sunday's paper about the issue of government employees getting chummy with business folks.
"For critics who think the construction industry has too much influence over county politics, that isn't the only disturbing image.

It's planning director Craig Ladiser riding in a golf cart, carousing with members of an industry he was supposed to police."

Good questions raised.

And a poetry entry...

With the MBA
He went to golf and dine
But he lost control
When they broke out the wine

He chose to whip it out
While going on a bender
Was planning director
Now just a sex offender
