In Westmount, Quebec there is a burning controversy over whether the City Council followed the law when recently giving themselves a 50% pay increase. Intrepid letter writer J. Locke(yours truly) spelled out the issue in a recent letter to the editor.
Into the soil the earthworm slinks away /
As the Robin watches ever intent /
Why is it that animals like to play? /
Where would we be were it not for decay? /
We are governed by the laws of excrement /
Into the soil the earthworm slinks away. /
It was not a Robin at all but Jay
Jay, Robin. Birds like to misrepresent
Why is it that animals like to play?
In retrospect it was a Robin, okay
Its bright orange breast likes to torment
Into the soil the earthworm slinks away.
Whatever bird you are I cannot say
For your voice has an unknown accent
Why is it that animals like to play?
Ornithologist I sure am not today
I will slink back into my apartment
Into the soil the earthworm slinks away
Why is it that animals like to play?
