The Security Council Poem by James Bredin

They are responsible for international peace and security,
Unfortunately what they do seems covered in obscurity,
They come up with their own strange ideas not worth to remember,
Then they refused to allow Canada to be a member.

They may set forth principles for a peaceful settlement now,
Or they may not or they’re afraid it might just cause a row,
But they have to bring fighting to an end according to their rules,
It’s fairly blatant now but they think the rest of us are fools.

Their peacekeepers seem to be missing from where it really counts,
No one seems to realize this or take it into account,
The politically correct are pleased with the way things are,
There are no Middle East problems that they can see, so far.
