BIG PILE IN THE SKY

doggerel poetry by Doctor Chase


I was sniffing today
by a big pile of stones
dug out of the ground
like old dinosaur bones.

To get iron ore
men worked like huge moles
and when they were finished
they left a big hole.

And stones piled so high
they block out the sun
but the hole that they left
was a lake blue as sky.

Some decades ago
big city money saw cash
said we'll fill your blue lake
with trash from T.O.

Village people got wise
and said no to this guise
formed a committee
zippity dash
named it dynamically
Marmora Takes No Trash!

Now TNT is as explosive as hell
and big city money
knows this full well.
Our peaceful blue lake
was safe for a while
from big city lies
and big money guile

But new owners got greedy
and tried once again
"Join the green revolution!"
(we mean dollars and cents)
be part of evolution
if you have any sense.

They'd build us a fresh lake
damned high in the skies
built on the old rubble
and a few gentle lies.

Our council was quick
to sign on their line
a few drowned out people
well, if there's money, that's fine.

And jobs, lots of jobs
and house values will rise
to the heights of absurdity
lies upon lies.

Pump water all night
let it slide down all day
what on earth could be greener
than gaming Hydro you say?

So a handful of people
in the cold waved their signs
saying leave us in safety
NO to corporate designs!

Village voices are rising
high to the skies
saying leave our blue lake
and be gone with your lies!

This story isn't over
the ending not clear
whether reason or money
will win what is dear?

But stand back, big money
village people are learning
and as history repeats
TNT signs are returning

Awesome poem, Chase

is he interested in the Premier's job? Only Chase could sniff out the shit sitting in cabinet offices and kick dirt over it. Something green might grow out of that.

Wrffff! wffff .... wffff ... wrfffffff ....
I'll try & interpret ... believe Chase is saying something to the effect that, "As a dog, I wouldn't lower myself (except to poop) to be a Canadian politician these days."
peace, poop, & poetry power!
Doctor Chase Lechien ... and his human interpreter, Chris ... wrfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff!

ppppoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop!!!!!!
