NON-VOTING GOATS … NOV 21ST, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

They want to rearrange the appointed Ottawa Senate fort,

So they are talking to the elite hand-picked Supreme Court,

They refer to the Constitution; not as a rock but as a living tree,

Though these talks, no doubt, may eventually impact you and me.

There’s not much chance that they will delete the Senate completely,

They like to make no big decisions and tiptoe away discretely,

Though this is a big legal stepping stone that they should take,

But our establishment don’t like to rock the boat or even shake.

Appointees don’t make radical decisions that might help us,

No referendums and no proportional representation fuss,

They know that less than half of us even bother to vote,

Therefore we can be treated like a herd of non-voting goats.
