Teachers and State Employees in Oklahoma are getting jiggie (1) with a statewide job action (2). For ten years Oklahoma teachers have been told, “Bob’s your uncle” (3).During this time, teachers in Oklahoma gained a reputation for being Worms (4). Now, many teachers are belly up (5), and some have dragin fever (6). But public education in Oklahoma is still filled with Shop Rockets (7). Meanwhile, the Oklahoma legislature is mostly Blisters (8) and Hub Caps (9) with glass stomachs (10). The most work that gets done at the capitol is polishing turds (11). Oklahoma, of course, is “right-to-work,” (12)and the schools are open shop (13). But this spring break, Liberal Scumbags (14) and Ratchet Jaws (15) are stepping up to be Teletubbies (16) and general Pitas (17) of the Legislature. Legacies (18) are demanding, “SIWAC” (19). The teachers are so united that Scabs (20) are virtually nonexistent. The Top Commie’s (21) demands are the cat’s ass (22). For now, the collective action (23) is mostly informational picketing (24), but may soon escalate to a Wobble (25). On April 2, there may be a major outbreak of teacher anal glaucoma (26). The battle is raging now, but the war may be won in November when many Bird Dog (27) legislators will take the walk of shame (28). Teachers are encouraged to bring a dookie (29) with them to the Capitol because roach coaches (30)and blue lagoons (31) may or may not be available. Solidarity (32) forever!
