Harper's Manifesto


Just click the image to read it.

UPDATE: dec.2013 - Prediction - Cda Post uproar is the diversion and, per the manifesto, the no-delivery policy will be rescinded, making for good positive election fodder.  BUT - what is the real news?  Dig dig dig.... just say this.  just say that.

This is the first posting of my poetry and it took government irresponsibility to precipitate it. I suddenly began channeling our prime minister and out came this piece, just a few minutes ago. Actually, it is a song, but I will not torture you with that interpretation. I strongly believe that he took voice coaching to sound like Stuart Maclean. Since sensing this, I have never listened to Vinyl Café.

The yellow words are meant to be difficult to read because they can be substituted.  In this version the text is:

Quietly introduce that back-room corporate deal
For military jets so coffers will grow
Nobody will notice
Let them chant for census justice


I will post others, I have many. Thanks for peeking in. I think I will follow this spontaneous poem by beginning a presentation of my MetaPoetry series: My poems about poems.

*Update... since 2010 there have been many other diversions in the media - Rob Ford is a good example.  Pandas too.
