We’ve been waiting for quite a long span
While our rivers and fish are less than.
The VSAs are no more
State Board, do what you’re for
And finish the Bay-Delta Plan
*
Westlands quit with a flounce and walked out
VSA’s are all over, no doubt
There’s no hope for a deal
Let the State Board reveal
A hearing schedule to save steelhead trout.
*
Trump issued a bullshit Bi-Op
Which brought Agreements to a dead stop
Now the rivers can’t wait
State Board, deliberate!
Please resume your duty as cop.
*
State Board, its time now, you must
Make river flows that are robust
Please do not cave
Our fish you must save
Please enforce our State’s Public Trust
On the public record 
Lakes are full, The drought has gone, Find a new issue, This one is Bull.
Only the slightest of re-arrangements would turn this into a rhyming couplet; this comment came thisclose to joining the theme for this post.
Mediocre rule is today’s recipe
With consequences too plain to see;
The fish are agape in a dry drought landscape
When tough choices our leaders flee.
The answer is that some must not prevail:
Big ag, small minds, all should fail;
For the people instead, water the redds,
And let courage put wind in your sail.
Ag pronunciation
Our fish are going through hell
They need instream flows to do well
Instead of our salmon
We have too many almonds
Please save them, Chair Esquivel
Urban pronunciation
Our fish are going through hell
They need instream flows to do well
We can’t have nice salmonids
‘Cause of too much almonids
Please save them, Chair Esquivel
