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.

I invite you to read all the ones I have posted. I think you'll have a good laugh (or 2...or 3!!!).

Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/14/2025 5:29:00 PM not familiar with the man, but your Limerick is well constructed. wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara Login to Reply Jim Healey Date: 8/14/2025 5:38:00 PM 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
