Delete The Senate... Poem by James Bredin

In order to delete the Senate; what do we need to do?
I get the impression that most of us don’t have a clue,
And those who have senate jobs would be completely opposed,
Cushy job till they’re seventy five so they don’t want it closed.

But the place seems to cause more trouble and scandal than it’s worth,
The massive GST was an example that it can be rearranged thenceforth,
Has any normal person said anything good about the place?
Should they be elected like they are in the United States?

Or could we turn the place into a nice bright Ottawa bingo hall?
Leave the red carpet and the chairs where they are and have a ball,
But do our present politicians have these kind of guts?
And many of them may think that this idea is nuts?
