Stop The Scandals... Oct 24th,2013 Poem by James Bredin

For some reason, less than half Canadians vote in elections,
Therefore party politicians keep their advantage in selections,
Therefore those who get elected, want to keep it that way,
And those who want change, are not allowed to have their say.

While those who get an appointment to the Senate have it made for life,
At least until they are seventy five - well paid and little strife,
Like aristocrats sitting in the Red Chamber very aloof,
It’s unknown and I never heard of one of them, raising the roof.

So we need a Canadian Compulsory Voting Law soon,
Not in ten years time when and if we get a blue moon,
That plus binding referendums and death with dignity would help,
Get us out of these annoying scandals and no need to yelp.
