Oil Slick

To Sartre is Smartre:

Oh, if only we could all be like you
To have our cake, and eat it too
To purport so completely and fully
How Harper's intentions were so wolly bully

You cry "It's just a clamour at the vote!
But cudos to you, let me lay down my coat.
Yer intentions are personal; yer meat is dry.
Make Quebec a nation and in me you confide."

But how do you know - how are you so sure?
Could Harper's benevolence not always have been pure?
"No, no, little man. I know it all!
For don't you know I live in the East after all?"

The left of yer slight is alright with me
We so need concern on oil, war and society
But be careful, my friend, to be in the head
Of the likes and the tracks you will undoubtedly tread

Damn good poem and that's what you give me? Yer mispelling all the time and I don't call you on it b/c I don't consider it necessery given the format.

Oh but please do point out any spelling mistakes if you in fact see some, for I doubt if they occur in my writings as much as you would claim. If they do exist however, please do point them out as I am very strict about this subject. Only be sure that what you see is a spelling mistake and not simply the Canadian spelling of a word, as in honorable should be honourable. Of course I didn't mind that our headline contains such a massive spelling mistake since American's do choose to spell it differently than more enlightened folk.

A common flaw with our sick and demented generation is to believe that grammar and spelling no longer matter. Simply because we have gone digital does not mean that it is okay to dumb down our society. In this sense yes, if you see any such spelling mistakes in my writings please do point them out to me.

Yep its true I have been working with our southern neigbors too long and now flat refuse to spell with 'ou'. Colour = color.

I am Canadian.
