Where Have All The Posters Gone?

The Martin Chronicles staff knows that our beloved publisher is a fan of what has come to be known as "folk music". One of his favorites? The Pete Seeger/Joe Hickerson song, "Where have all the flowers gone?" that the duo penned in October, 1955. You are most likely aware of versions recorded by The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary.

So, anyway, our staff produced its own version of that folk song due to recent events on social networks. Our goal? To perform it for our beloved publisher. We always enjoy giving him a good laugh.

We picked up our acoustic guitars, stand up bass and tambourines. We got in to our best voices and performed the following song to the tune of "Where have all the flowers gone?.
Cue up the Kingston Trio's version on YouTube and please sing along.

Where have all the posters gone? Gone from Facebook.
Where have all the posters gone? Lost in their fog.
Where have all the posters gone?
Nitwits wrote them, now their gone.
Have the-ey finally learned?
Have they fine-ally learned?

Where have all the nitwits gone? Long time learn-ing.
Where have all the nitwits gone? Did they finally learn?
Where have all the nitwits gone?
Done with Martin, everyone?
Have the-ey finally leaned?
Have they fine-ally learned?

Where have all the ass-clowns gone? Long time learn-ing.
Where have all the ass-clowns gone? Did they finally learn?
Where have all the ass-clowns gone?
From an empty bar, everyone?
Have the-ey finally learned?
Have they fine-ally learned?

Where has the broken City gone? Long time learn-ing.
Where has the broken City gone? Now it's bank-rupt.
Where has the broken City gone?
Filing bankruptcy, now its gone. 
Have the-ey finally learned?
Have the fine-ally learned?

Where have all the posters gone? Gone from Facebook.
Where have all the posters gone? Lost in their fog.
Where have all the posters gone?
Nitwits wrote them, now their gone.
Have the-ey finally learned?
Have they fine-ally learned?

Our publisher absolutely loved our song. He even wiped a few tears from his eyes. We doubt that the taxpayers of Villa Hills love what's happening-thanks to the mismanaging Martin-quite as much.

There are 325 days until the next election.
