Portugal are out once more;
Spain keep marching as before;
Yet again Prince Cristiano
Will not get the Ballon d'Or*
*European Footballer of the Year award


A grown man trips

A 13-year-old child;

An adult coach hurts

A 13-year-old player;

No wonder this player grows up

And turns wild--

Thinking he has to be a hockey slayer.

Canada’s bird population rate falling
Is it because pollution’s appaling?
Or are hearts and minds so full of fear—
It’s easier for poor souls to be crawling?

Drama continues at Elliot Lake—
People are still trapped under debris.
Nobody knows how much more time it’ll take;
Let’s hope all trapped there

will soon be free.

Canadian Tire to open its driving school!
Sign up for classes!
Learn many a driving rule!
Whatever your dream car is—

Lada or Hummer—

Classes begin later this summer.


Beloved Big Ben is no longer a boy;
He is called Elizabeth now; oh, what joy!
But why mess with what people love?

This is strange.

Has Big Ben just had somewhat of a sex change?


J. Sakic, P. Bure, A. Oates, M.Sundin:
The Hall of Fame wise men are calling you in!
All four got more points
Than some of the teams!
Those years were years of magic, it seems.

Pissed off many a Belieber.

Van Gogh exhibit at the National Gallery of Canada over Summer Months

I imagine van Gogh on his scooter today
Getting out of downtown traffic.
To the country he is rushing
To snap away for the National Geographic.


All those close-ups of sunflowers, insects and trees
With his camera he could have taken.
But a painter he was, so he painted instead.
And his artistry isn't forsaken.


Go to Ottawa soon; you will see for yourselves
Forty paintings that could have been photos.
As for those "painting" digital pictures these days,
Hope they learn from old frescoes in grottos.
