Political Poetry

This is about the time
That fucker Harper
Ought to have called the election.
And it is only just now,
Now that summer is nearly behind us,
People are firming up their voting intentions for next month.

Conservative voters will have
To hold their noses especially tight
To vote for a party that poetically fielded
A candidate known to piss
In his customer's coffee cups
When they are not looking.

The firmness of their voting intentions
May be drawn from the long line-ups
At fitness clubs across Canada
Now offering special deals to people
Who want to strengthen up their dominant
Hand's index finger and thumb.
