Dr. Seuss Explains Ottawa
In Ottawa now
the people were chatty
Had their leaders gone mad
Had they all gone quite batty?
Some people were happy
With the plans of the new lot
High on Parliament Hill however
The Steve, was not
“Look at them all
The fun that they’re having
They can’t act like this
It’s pure power grabbing”
He hemmed and he hawed
The Steve was not happy
One thing was sure
Was the future looked crappy
“The nerve of this lot
Stealing my throne
Just watch how I’ll protest
I’ll bitch and I’ll moan”
“They won’t succeed here
They won’t get too far
Those separatists, socialists
And…whatever- they- ares”
“The first thing I’ll do,”
he said with a grin
“Is to close everything down
and lock myself in”
“If that doesn’t work.,”
He continued with glee.
“I’ll start telling lies
About the other parties.”
He tried and he tried
To come up with more plans
For the Steve wanted no part
Of those moving vans
“I get it now
I must be just dreaming
Wait…where are we going?”
And he started kicking and screaming.
“If you can’t play nicely,”
The others all told Steve
“Well, as you can see
We’ll ask you to leave”
I love me some Seuss in the morning. Well done, sir.
Should you find yourself bored, and friend and I wrote another Seuss-inspired piece on the US election.
