Coeur d’Alene Press Online,
Mahiun posted a response to Mary Souza’s post-election op-ed column
discussing her recent coffee with Mayor-elect Steve Widmyer. Mahiun provides this explainer to his poem “Let It Go! Let It Go! Let It Go!” … “In the spirit of the holidays, maybe just a little humour. It’s supposed to be nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek joke, so I hope nobody gets too wadded up over this. Anyway, to the tune of “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”:
Oh, the mayoral race was frightful,
But Widmeyer won it rightful,
And since you lost to your foe,
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
But Mary, you’re still name-dropping,
And it doesn’t show signs of stopping.
It’s time to move on, and so…..
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
When we finally chose that night,
And Steve was our mayor-elect.
We assumed you would do what’s right,
Understanding we didn’t select…….
YOU!
We believe that Steve can do it,
Coeur d’Alene will muddle through it,
And soon enough, we’ll all know ——
Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!
