A Waggish 'Win-Win'

According to an article in Loudoun Extra, Prem Devadas, president of Sheila Johnson's Salamander Hospitality, thinks the potential agreement with the town of Middleburg is a " 'win-win situation' for the resort and the town" ["Middleburg Weighs Resort Plan," Loudoun Extra, June 30]. My response, in verse:

"Win-Win"

Have you heard the latest report?

It's the sort to make merchants cavort.

To no one's surprise,

They'll double the size

Of Middleburg's "world-class resort."

There'll be more SUVs, perhaps fewer trees,

Fine dining, reclining and a spa, if you please.

There'll be plenty of spin,

We'll all shout, "Win-win!"

And talk of creating more places like these.
