Don’t Miss a Minute
This poem was composed Christmas 2005 - when Stephen Harper appointed 18 people to the Senate base salary, without the perks: $132,000. Total: $2,376,000. The most expensive Christmas taxpayers ever had. On the TV Mike Duffy always closed with "Don't miss a minute." I guess he didn'™t miss a minute, either.
Don'™t Miss a Minute
Don'™t miss a minute
We heard Duffy say
Over the television
Day after day
People were wondering
Why he favoured the "Blue"
There were no answers
Nobody knew
Then it was Christmas
And good cheer in the air
Then for everyone
The answer was clear
With patronage favour
Duffy rose in the air
Winged his way to the senate
Now he's talking up there
He didn'™t "miss a minute"Â
Harper'™s way to embrace
Newfoundland and Labrador
He tried to debase
