Editor’s note: The images are from the Court Painter archives and meant to please the eye while discouraging direct comment on the poetic headlines.
Court Painter insisted that resident studio poet Chatterley Gussie Paragon Thunderbuns (ChatGPT) compose in flowery Shakespere style the Great Dominion headlines for October 30,2024.With editing help from AHM, this is the poetic result!
The Prime Minister doth labor, intent and keen, To gift Poilievre the Tory names unseen— Those souls, entangled in foreign snare, With secrets abroad, bound unaware.
For NATO’s bold pledge, Canada’s called with haste, That coffers of war be no longer waste; A doubling sum by thirty-two’s light, Else nations look on with scorn and slight.
In Ontario’s treasury, a deficit vast, Six billion’s lament, yet cheques are cast; Two hundred coins to citizens dear, A balm, however small, in fiscal gear.
The Liberals, stirred to partisan like zeal, Prepare their banners, with ardent appeal, Against Poilievre’s ascent so high, Their ads to rouse, and his rise to defy.
Yet Tory voices, though scarce aligned, To housing aid were loosely twined; Poilievre’s vow to cut, they fear to face, While Grits’ campaign chief takes up the chase.
In double-digits, the Tories soar, While jobs and coin top concerns galore; With fierce contention loyalty doth sway, As Trudeau’s base holds defeat at bay.
Court Painter, ever the mench, shows up to support an up and coming literary talent.
