The Tin Man

 

When a man’s an empty kettle

He should never ever settle

He should hold out for his part.

Just because i’m prime-sinister

and  could be a mission minister

I’m glad I don’t have  a heart.  

If I were tender and gentle

and awful sentimental

regarding love and art

I’d be a wimpy fellow

and couldn’t use the gallows

I’m glad I  don’t have a heart.  

picture me a balcony

above a voice sings low

 

(Boreen)

Wherefore art thou, Romeo LeBlanc?

 

(Tin Man)

I hear a vote, she’s devote!

 

Just to register emotion, but it causes such commotion

And tears the plan apart

I could stay young and chipper

But a hand might touch my zipper

And I don’t want a heart!

Famous Stupid People

 So it’s not Tuesday…so what?  FSP has taken a turn this time and posted the evident.  There would be no guessing in this one….it would be a matter of who saw this post first…Sarah Palin’s stupidity oozes out of her pea-brain like wax out of a slimey monster’s ears.  Yuck.  Stay tuned as Harper Valley will try it’s best to present a FSP that requires some guesswork .

 

 

 

Stephen Harper’s Economic Plan

 While his opponents called last night for Primordial Minister Stephen Harper to unveil a Conservative economic plan…Steve kept them waiting in the wings until he could release his plan this morning.

FINALLY realizing Canada can no longer afford to ride on the coat tails of George Bush’s You-ess-ian nightmare, Steve has unveiled ‘THE CANRO’, a new monetary unit he pledges will help keep Canada in the black.

“God was late talking to me on this one, but the other day I was leaning against the church wall to let fly with my signature “Silent but Deadly’ one.  Halleluja, what should pop out but a dollar bill actually composed of potash, uranium, water, diamonds and tar sands!”.  

Steve says Canadians will have to catch him on windy days and rip a section of the CANRO off.  He warns that taking too many of the one-plies may result in diverticulosis for him, so to go easy.  “I am suffering enough with this, but I suffer so you don’t have to”, says Steve.  He also alluded to lambs as commodities and threw in something about being born in swaddlings and placed amongst bullrushes.  

Good luck, Steve…may the arse be with you!

The Great ‘Do We Have To Wait’?

 Just watching HIS nose grow is quite amazing.  There he sat at the great debate telling lie after lie, his contenders exposing him, but the most us viewers could see was a fumble on some words and sometimes a ever so slightly shakey hand.  Bugger.  How many will buy him again?  Can’t they SEE his nose grow???

Elizabeth May and Gilles Duceppe were the clear shinging winners, agree with them or not.  They’re both smart, can back what they say, and May even hands her opponents points where she thinks they’re due.  Duceppe’s line about him not wanting to be or expecting to be Prime Minister (and 3 others at the table) was probably the best line of the whole ordeal.

Dion attempts to be the gentleman and scholar when matters get heated but really, he gets backed into corners easily and comes across as……a wimp.  Layton the salesman was pretty good but lost points with me for looking the camera in the eye as though he were talking directly to us the pitiful viewers, and really, how many times do we have to hear him sneak in NDP campaign lines?  Mind you, his reference to Steve’s campaign sweater was great and he aimed some pretty tough stuff at the PM. 

I CAN’T WAIT for this election to be over.  I voted already and while it wasn’t the toughest choice I’ve ever had to make it certainly wasn’t the most pleasant.  Really…why don’t they at least give us some dark chocolate as we leave the polling booth?
