Just ‘jealous’ doesn’t do her justice, since
unless you factor-in her womanhood,
no vestige of the passion in her blood
or motivation comes across: her prince
conceived real circumspection. He’d convince
alumni, friends and allies that they should
placate her: Juno wasn’t wholly good,
in Miller’s words, a phrase which wins the quince,
the prize for sweetness, but wholly herself.
Our modern model argues men are strong –
look at his biceps! Somehow, all along,
I’ve known the Ghibelline to be a Guelph:
no question, Juno would approve my song:
as ingrained as the view is, it’s still wrong.

A sprite little pixie from Guelph
has made quite a name for herself.
She took a long stroll
up to the North Pole.
Now she's Santa's Canadian elf.

There once was a mischievous elf
Who lived among books on my shelf
Forever up to his antics
One day hid my antibiotics
That’s when I convinced him to move back to Guelph
