Local Voices: Once upon a time

Once upon a time in a trailer park by the ocean,
A billionaire came by and caused a great commotion,
He promised to make us all millionaires and life would be thrilling.
“Whoopee” said the lawyers “on this we will make a killing.”
We all knew that there is only one Briny.
That it was a unique way of life soon to be no more.
Our families replaced by a giant resort on our ocean shore.
Maybe this is progress — they’d like to call it so,
But let us treasure our memories as our separate ways we go.
But wait! The billionaire and lawyers have gone.
Now we can truly be thankful for the Briny we have enjoyed for so long.
Together generation after generation can live in Briny for many years.
We can do this by working together now.
