“Who stole the bowl of pudding
I made for dessert?”
“He did!” said the chocolate coated child, pointing at
her baby brother, quietly kicking his feet in the jolly jumper.

(Seriously Premier, why would anyone forfeit thousands of dollars of salary unless it was for something of tremendous value- like defending The Charter of Rights and Freedoms? We’re not going to give up our rights under the law! We won twice at the Supreme Court! We won’t sign a clause that says if you lose again, you won’t have to follow the justice’s decision!

Ever thought about publishing your wonderful poems 🙂

I have a couple of collections heading off to find new friends shortly.
very nice good assumptions………
Thank you.
As a teacher and a parent your poem is OUTSTANDING, WELL WRITTEN & SPOT ON!!!
lol
Thanks.
I think you should be thinking of running in the next election. It is time we get some people who actually have brains and are for the people in government. I will vote for you. All unions please go on strike in the province to support the teachers. Shut the province down until they agree to sit down and bargain fairly. Show your solidarity as a union person please.
lol Thanks, Betty.
Running for election sounds like my definition of hell, to be honest.
I definitely support the idea of a General Strike, though!
