Toronto City Council # 2
By
James Bredin

Our politicians gave us a garbage strike in 2009,
Most of them are still there and want to stay for life and that's fine,
Talk about the environment and forget pot holes in the road,
Don't ask them a question because they tend to talk in code.

Enough socialism to make an ardent communist blush,
Like real religious fanatics trying for communal mush,
While various budget committee members make decisions,
On their own agendas and overspend Toronto's provisions.

There are no political parties allowed down at street level,
Tied to this group or that group but not in league with the devil,
And there's worse, much worse, as provincial politicians look on,
Occasionally they too try to look intelligent as they yawn.
