NaPoMo (n+4): an occasional satire

First Night in Toronto

 

In the Royal York’s Library Bar next table

the retired scholar with wife and two old friends

from New York discussing Trump quotes Yeats

What rough beast… In our hotel room

the front page of the complimentary copy

of The National Post features a full-page, colour ad

for Mizrahi Developments’ luxury condo tower project,

a column by Lord Conrad Black The inability to lead

on pipelines will be the Prime Minister’s ruin…

We will find out soon enough if climate is changing…

In another Rex Murphy sings back up with thesaurus.
