'Twas The Night Before Christmas in White Plains

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the city the people were sad and it was such a pity.
Their smile had somehow been turned upside down into a shape that resembles a frown.
The emails, the fighting, postponed special meetings, had put a real damper on the holiday seasons.
FASNY, Sunrise Detox, The Trailway, some malls, would they all be passed with groundbreakings by fall?
The shoppers stayed home from near and from far, afraid of the ticket they'd find on their car.
Where are our leaders? Do they really care? What are they thinking behind that blank stare?
Transparency, transparency, you'll all know the deal. Our council did claim and said with a squeal.
Now it's a month later, we're still in the dark. Will they sell us all out for a big giant park?
I can only imagine what next year will bring and hope they stop spending on dumb useless things.
At this point I know there's one thing left to say. Just try to forget and ENJOY CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
