New poem: "A Sober Canadian"

 

A Sober Canadian

 

It had to happen one day,

the child had to become a man;

and along came a sober Canadian

to show us the way. No more big

brother to lean upon (he turned

out to be a bully), and no more

reason to prevaricate; the time

had come to say NO, and Carney

took the ball away from the bully

and began to play the deadly

game of Realpolitik.

New poem: His "Napoleon Complex"

 

His “Napolean Complex”

 

Everything he did was BIGGER,

BETTER, and “there has never been

anything like it.” But his “Napolean

complex” finally got the better of

the American President when he met

the better man in the newly elected

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

who adjusted his glasses and did not

flinch at Trump’s bullying and new

tariff threats that no longer mattered

to the sovereignty of our proud nation;

and the irony of the President’s game

was that he only motivated Canada

to become more self-sustaining

and independent.
