Note- This was about 2 years ago. I am presently bagless but still very much amused and laugh when I think of how it went:
The funniest thing that ever happened to me, to date, turned out to be something no one wanted to talk about.  I had absolutely no idea what the solution to a [...]

I couldn’t believe my luck when I woke up recently from emergency surgery for an intestinal obstruction. There, on my stomach, like a good conduct medal, was a discreet little sort of sandwich bag, which, for the foreseeable future, would be externally collecting my poop.
            Oblong, rounded at the corners and rather loosely secured by [...]

My friend the poet Kemeny Babineau wrote this:
  
Fixing the Vote
I’m fixing a hole where the votes get out
And stop majority from forming
So I prorogue
 I’m filling the cracks from coast to coast
That kept majority from forming
So I prorogue
And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong
I’m right where I prorogue
I’m right where I prorogue
See the people standing [...]

Since Steve began
He’s had a goodby callin’
We can all see
He’s goin’ WRONG
Bad in the spring
Soldiers were dyin’
Who’d have believed you’d
Let him last so long?
Sweet Michelle Jean
We know that you could
Shut down this fool
We believed you always would
But now we
Look at this blight
They call the Tories
They fill us up
With crap, they do
And though we hurt
Hurtin’ runs off [...]

“The problem is all inside the Hill,” she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Michelle Jean can help in our struggle to be free
There must be 50 ways to leave our HARPER!
It’s true, it’s really not our habit to intrude
Futhermore the message mustn’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat at the [...]

 
Oh they called it ‘prorogue
”Cause we might not know that word
Our government’s skedaddled from the hill
They won’t work but they’ll get paid
Leave behind the mess they made
Democracy is dying in the north
CHORUS
Oh Oh, Michaelle Jean
What about this scene?
It’s time you used your muscle from the Queee-en
We once thought of you
As someone who’d really do
Now you [...]

See it tumbling down
Dashing our bills to the ground
Nowhere our M.P.’s are found
Drifting along with a half-witted government
Paid, without doing the work
I couldn’t do what these jerks
Do, without losing their perks
Drifting along with a half-witted government
I know – we don’t need them
Drawing closer, that day when -
We’ll have another P.M.
Someone who listens and then -
No [...]

1)Tune: Done stayed around…this ol’ town too long
It wasn’t much of a government
But it was all we had
It was all we had, boys,
It was all we had
And now it’s gone on holidays
(That Harper’s quite the lad)
And we’ve got no parliament to carry on!
CHORUS
Done kept this kind
Done stood behind
This government too long
No results I’ve seen
I’m no [...]
