Unemployed Doctors
In the hallowed halls of healing, dreams were once sown, A path chosen by duty, not a path of our own. Driven by a mother's wish, I stepped in that domain, A journey prescribed, a white coat, a stethoscope's refrain.

The Old Mill Is Gone
The streets are filled with crying men, filling the gutters up with tears. As we walk from our final shift, that’s fed us for a hundred years. Eleven hundred jobs vanished, like a leaf caught upon the wind. And Canton North Carolina, will never be the same again. What’s in store for us tomorrow, no one can ever really know. When your faith is...

Experience Regina Tourism Flub
Regina city councillors under fire For ad campaign’s not looked at prior How someone did not think to inquire Check the news if you think me a liar This province had some odd news breaks Like the Tim Hortons with the snake… The moose in the school for hoof’s sake But this capital city goof takes the cake I suppose they were hoping...

The Old Unemployed Man Or a Suburban Poem
His oars (mind, arms, and legs) were insufficient as propellers to earn a living. In the underground´s nasty passageway; or was in his life´s nasty passageway? Anyway! There, he, like an imbecile, sat, another torn mendicant, holding up his hand to indifferent passers-by, asking for a gaze or just a word of hope. Hope! What hope? - The hope that...
