UMFALIMERICKS

With one last limerick I’m resignin’ From all strike-related fun rhymin’ The votes have been cast. Fair Deal, here at last Please pass me my glass to put wine in. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

It’s hard to know where to begin. How will we move on if we win? For one month my life Was our labour strife And rhyming insults at admin. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Fair Deal, sweet Fair Deal is that you? You were harder to find than we knew. We waited and watched You’re like the Sasquatch You’re like bargaining’s Polkaroo! #umfa2021 #umfastrike

It is with pride UMFA rejects The clear and the present effects Of dreadful admin Whose prominent sin Is dreadfulness in all respects. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Because of Admin the strike drags From riches they try to make rags Let there be no doubt They couldn’t lead out Of very wet, wet paper bags #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Since UM’s Admin’s lost the plot They think our resolve must be shot Just look at the line We’re much more than fine Solidarity’s easy to spot #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Just a Wonderful Wizard could save Our Admin from the way they behave Like Scarecrow, not smart Like Tin Man, no heart Like Cowardly Lion, not brave. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

We promise we’ll help walk you through it It’s new, so do not just poo-poo it It’s bargaining, Mike It helps end a strike We’ve done it, we’re sure you can do it. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

The Bison, the Forks, Honey Dill Some great ‘Toban staples, but still There’s not much that beats UMFA in the streets Declaring its collective will! #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Ol’ Michael and Heather, his pal Both hail from this frigid locale The two also share A failure to care And penchants for sinking morale #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Unencumbered by numbers or facts Or the history of UM contracts Admin makes a point Of tanking the joint What a bunch of embarrassing hacks #umfa2021 #umfastrike

"On Friday we'll email a warning We'll give 'em the ol' public scorning" Get over yourselves We aren't Santa's elves. See you on the line Monday morning. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Admin says: “hey, thanks for the grant And sorry the money’s been scant And ‘member when we’d Applied to, uh, lead? Yeah, well, um, uh, sorry. We can’t.” #umfa2021 #umfastrike

I guess we should give admin credit It's high time that somebody said it They do come in first At being the worst And leading ‘till they have misled it. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

@KarineHopps @UMFA_FAUM It's an honour to be included.

I don’t play BINGO often but when I do, I use @UMFA_FAUM bingo card!! #umfa2021

Inspired by their well-deserved shame PC’s want to sell this re-frame Despite the new buzz It’s the same as it was If you do the same things, you’re the same #umfa2021 #umfastrike

There's hope, but this ain't over yet It will end on the terms that we set Michael, my dear We teach history here We forgive but we do not forget. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Each doctor, or teacher, or nurse Who paid into U of M’s purse Do you think they’d like To know what ol’ Mike Is paid now to make the place worse? #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Those who make speeches from thrones For sure don’t have large student loans That they must pay off For years as a prof Each word of that thing summits groans #umfa2021 #umfastrike

“There’s a mandate!” “Hey! No there ain’t!” On loop as their boring complaint. I know they don’t care But cupboard’s aren’t bare And Cam Morrill’s likely a saint. #umfa2021 #umfastrike
