Ode To A Burnaby Wetsuit -- July 17, 2019

 
Ode to a Burnaby Wetsuit

A Canadian with a wetsuit and a Country music vibe
Protests oil, climbs some trees and even takes a dive
He doesn't want a pipeline - not near his old home town
But pretty please, if he could, just use the right pronoun

He's anti oil, and anti pipe... God knows what anti cause
He'll protest this and protest that and break a bunch of laws
I'm pro oil and I'm pro pipe and love my modern stuff
I just can't stand bad grammar - enough's enough, enough!

And now it seems his wetsuit, the one he's shown in here
Is made of oil that he protests, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear
It doesn't have to make much sense, except just in his mind
But the grammar cops will whack him, thanks to this little rhyme

Caesar's wife, it's often said, must be above reproach
So, protest all you want, you fool, 
But get a grammar coach!
