In Praise of Mark Carney

To be born Canadian was my fate,
something I will always appreciate.
The PM of my nation
deserves my approbation
for he'll not abnegate nor bloviate.

Yes, this is one I read that really impressed me, great limerick skills. I'm not Canadian but I know when a limerick is tight and right, and this is. Poetry hugs ... CayCay (2 down)

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. Limericks are my favorite type of poem to write. I invite you to read all the ones I have posted. I think you'll have a good laugh (or 2...or 3!!!).

Thank you, Sara. He was recently elected Prime Minister and is a former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He is an Oxford University graduate and is just the right person to lead Canada in these tumultuous times. His calm demeanour is a perfect counterpoint to your president’s bombast - the steady hand at the wheel that Canada, and the world, needs. Take care. Jim
