Any one here?
Was the question.
Was there an answer?
Or even a mention?

"Present" I proclaim,
What about the others?
From the dead (this group) can we reclaim?
I hope so, if I had my druthers.

And with that comes are very good question
I have often wondered about your druthers
Did you simply inherit them,
Of did you steal them from the Mudders?

If he stole them does that make him a thief of genetics,
robbing DNA from sisters and cousins and mothers?
Or are his druthers just fake, like a can of cosmetics
and his choices simply lifted from the minds of some others?

I think she ment Mudders, miners with the milk,
With the Hero of Canton, a man they called Jayne,
(Though, not v ery reputable, men of his ilk),
And I wouldn't steal, from that I abstain.

So you wouldn't steal from rich,
And give to the poor,
Wouldn't look at The Man
and give him "what for"?

You wouldn't stand up for the needy
the blind and the lame?
Then you're not the solution
you're part of the blame.

Well he is Canadian,
and some say that's a fault.
To ward off his evil,
Turn around and throw salt.

A Canadian you say, the ones who misplace their "u's"?
Well I can't really say that that's much of an excuse.
But I'll cut him some slack and pour him some gin
because I think he likes to eat that disgusting looking poutine.

I disagree about the cutting of the slack,
As he breakfasts by the ocean
And then seconds later while still chewing,
He is hiking on a mountain.

I'd stand up for the needy, and regularily donate,
Canadians are good, the salt of the Earth,
I wish the American's would stop all the Hate,
Your spelling without the "u's" fills me with mirth.

American's - we put the "a" in Hate.
Or so the Canadian has tried to prove
Alas he is just our whiny ol' mate,
We know to American he wants to move.

We don’t always hate, sometimes we’re just picky
I’m sure he can figure it out.
Even though the distinction can be subtle and sticky
If he needs help he can just give me a shout.

And maybe the distinction is obvious and plain
and he doesn’t want to condescend.
So before he can do any Canadian legerdemain
I’ll just say that this is The End.
