Texas Highway Dept.

You can whip it and blame it and rename it all new,
Till your plum out of wind and your face is all blue,
Divide it with WIN and employ next of kin,
While you demand more with less of the crew,
But remember this fact and reflect on it friend,
The Highway Dept. will outlast me and you.

Continuously improve it with a vision or two,
Outsource common sense,
And missions and roles all anew,
If the teal, rose and ivory set find old San Jose and cinnamon won’t do,
Let them remember this fact and reflect on it friend,
The Highway Dept. will outlast me and you.

You can meet and pre-meet,
Till your bottom’s asleep,
Hold retreats with nice eats and reports bright and shiny,
But those who do real work don’t just yak on their heinie.
Red jackets, power scarves and car phones may be chic
But honor to those forced to work for this creep,
And remember this fact and reflect on it friend,
The Highway Dept. will outlast me and you.
