Someone said that my poetry was too complicated to understand, not straight forward, and sometimes too political and negative. Here is something very simplistic and positive with a happy ending: a nursery rhyme from years past; what could be more simplistic? No politics involved whatsoever, unless you accidentally substitute Harper for Mary, and Canadian voters for the lamb.......

Mary had a little lamb

Little lamb, little lamb

Mary had a little lamb

Whose fleece was perfect for her coat

Everywhere that Mary went

Mary went, Mary went

And everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go

Mary hatched an evil plot

An evil plot, evil plot

Mary hatched an evil plot

The stupid lamb was unaware

The lamb followed blindly with no thoughts

With no thoughts, with no thoughts

The lamb followed blindly with no thoughts

Blissfully walking without care

To the slaughter Mary led the little lamb

The little lamb, the little lamb

To the slaughter Mary led the little lamb

To be fleeced was its share

The little lamb screamed in pain

Screamed in pain, screamed in pain

The little lamb screamed in pain

But Mary had a feast

Mary got salmonella poisoning

Salmonella poisoning, salmonella poisoning

Mary got salmonella poisoning

The lamb smiled from Heaven with a grin from west to east

And they never crossed paths again

The end
