CONTINUOUS DESPAIR … NOV 1ST, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Our ongoing Senate scandals had new versions every day,
As our pompous appointees put on new daily displays,
In that Red Chamber where some of them fiddled with the books,
And these days they deny and scream that they are not crooks.
And Canadians are left puzzled as they watch it all on TV,
Its obvious that the whole place should be shut down; we agree,
But it’s unlikely the Supreme Court will go along with that,
They too are appointees and more likely that they would stand pat.
So Canadians are stuck between a rock and a hard place,
But appointed aristocrats don’t see this as a disgrace,
If we elected them; at least we would feel they should be there,
And we wouldn’t feel this ongoing continuous despair.
