My Guide to the Federal Election

Note: this is a little poem written over our upcoming election up north, and a little introduction to how things work here. And it will also meet a requirement for a challenge posted recently (see below):

Say what you will about my country:

We enjoy our freedom and the land we love.

And you, dear friends, all and sundry,

Should know your neighbours up above.

*

Fools, dimwits, and morons,

All taking us down with them.

Another grand federal election…

Who should we choose? Ahem…

*

The Liberals will spend our money.

The New Democrats will make us poor.

The Greens will speak and sound funny.

The Conservatives will show us the door.

*

It is a game we all play.

Even as we all hear

Of liars and clowns along the way,

And voters who have something to fear.

*
