The bad news is that legislators are still meandering around Tallahassee. The good news is about the most important on their agenda these days seems to be the state song. After spending a few months holding an online contest to come up with a new song to replace “Old Folks At Home,’’ they have finally concluded that the winner sounds more like background music at a Disney attraction and are trying to salvage the current one.
Their solution is to keep the original with revised lyrics that replace the original words done in mock slave dialect. That’s OK by me except that some legislators apparently want to write their own, brand new lyrics. You have to figure if a legislative committee gets hold of that, they will spend the next six months trying to come with a verse that rhymes with “Seating the Florida delegation.’’
