The Night Before Christmas on the Illinois River

SEASON'S GREETINGS STIR MEMBERS AND BEST WISHES FOR THE NEW YEAR
The night before Christmas in our watershed throughout
Phosphorus abounds, and nuisance algae sprout
 
Arguments are before the Tulsa judge again
Big Chicken says they want out. The evidence is old
 
But Ed Fite says the Illinois River has not changed
“The ole gal’s not well,” and it isn't just a common cold
 
The 037-phosphorus limit isn’t being met, but it’s on the books
Fertilization with chicken manure explains the river's looks
 
His Honor has another great decision to make
Let’s pray it’s not another 13 years, for goodness’ sake

As the State's poultry lawsuit drags on, the causalities mount
The Governor's revenge is wide and just being at the table counts
