"An ode to those Plaintiffs!" by Manitoba Metisland's unknown poet laureate!

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post, "Justice John Menzies' decision in the Yvon Dumont case!"

“How dare he oppose my buddy Dave,” Clem uttered with a vent.
By hook or crook I’ll have my way and keep him President.

A hurried call to Winnipeg a sorted plot hatched.
A scheme so despicable - retribution with no match.
.
A fistful of Metis dollars to his lawyer Dave did dash.
“Let’s solve it in the usual way sue his sorry ass"

Without a doubt David boasted the onslaught they could curb.
For sitting in the Plaintiffs chair would be the mighty Trachtenberg.

When Murray got the news he broke into a sweat.
We’re talking Florida condo for life he would be set.

“Who cares about Yvon’s service? "Who cares if he’s Metis?”
He pounds his fist with vengeance. “Let’s hang him like Louis.”

Relaxing back in Ottawa Clem stretched out upon his cot.
Yvon he signed a contract run for office he should not.

Dumont’s Metis blood was churning with dreams about Batoche.
A war was in the offing the battle can’t be lost.

Justice Menzies heard the whole sad story the lawyers they were done.
Clem and David were arrogant having lots of fun.

The gavel came down quickly the verdict it was heard.
The justice said, “Not guilty that is the final word."

Dear Anonymous:

T'is sad to say the gavel is no more.
Otherwise thoroughly frustrated Menzies
Would have flung it at those Bloody .......! (Rhymes with "Menzies" - well almost!)

Sincerely,
