Are Our Politicians Back Yet? ... Poem by James Bredin

Our politicians are over in the Middle East on a trip,
While the value of the Canadian dollar has gone drip drip,
I want those politicians to come back and put things straight,
And our death-with-dignity should then be up for debate.

Then get rid of the appointed Senate which we don’t need,
Not-elected appointees on Senate welfare - very strange indeed,
And a referendum about a pipeline somewhere out west,
This has caused such a hassle, I could really get depressed.

Peace, order and good government, we surely need,
Plus recall, binding referendums and we are all agreed,
Because party politicians speak in slogans that they’ve been told,
As they march or walk in lock step in a political mould.
