Private Citizen Saves Toronto Almost $50K

When it comes to fraud, abuse and sheer waste

There are other governments than the Swamp to lambaste

When cities or other bodies have a project to build it’s other people’s money they must spend

No wonder in an era of unaccountability or job loss over budget is the never ending trend

In Toronto there was a need to build a flight of stairs in a public park

Prevent patrons from slipping on a slope in the day or in the dark

The pigs sensing the public pork trough was about ready to be filled were quick to bids submit

$50-150 grand enough to cause one retiree a real case of the anger fits

Off to Home Depot for materials and to neighbors’ help enlist

For $500 a wooden flight of stairs painted white on the slope now exists

From the mayor a sense of fiscal gratitude?

No outrage a taxpayer saving money chose to intrude

Do not be surprised if the idiots in the Toronto City Hall

Tear it down and rebuild to further attempts at saving money stall

Saving money and being under budget is in Toronto a bad rap that gives bureaucrats a bad name

What to expect from the city that had Rob Ford as its major infamous for smoking crack cocaine
