Arrogant Canadian Senate... July 1st,2013 Poem by James Bredin

The arrogant croyyism of our Senate system is wrong,
Appointed elite jobs until they are 75 within their own throng,
In a huge Ottawa Red Chamber where no one is elected,
Where we can’t find fault and scandal types seem protected.

I would like to feel pleased about our Ottawa setup but I’m not,
That Red Chamber full of appointees, in case you forgot,
Blatant lifetime form of welfare for friends in very high places,
Appointed by friends for no known reasons or basis or traces.

The arrogance of these appointees has to be accepted,
The occasional scandal has therefore to be expected,
The Constitution can’t be changed because they could loose their positions,
And Canadians have to accept all these imposed conditions.
