Adickted To Ford
















Addiction is a terrible disease
Not an excuse to do as you please                                    
Life threatening illness or political trick
Not as much an addict so much as a dick

Real addicts suffer real consequences
Not own big houses with picket fences
Real addicts suffer jail sentences
Are not privileged sons or their father's apprentices

First          or         Fix                            
On                         Or
Race                      Repair
Day                        Daily

Race day can refer to human frailty
Identity politics is in the news daily
Hatred against those who identify gayly
The white hope of the poor black races
Deserving of a leader lacking human graces
The Ford Escape to GreeneStone covered all of his bases

First On Race Day an adept political campaign
Manipulating public sympathy for political gain
Political power reserved for conservative reign  
Conservatism in Canada became an ignoble stain

Fix Or Repair -Toronto's politics- Daily
Like Ford Pinto's blowing up like Halley
The disenfranchised of poor Toronto 
Need affordable housing quick-time, pronto
In the Region of Peel we also feel the pain
Yet the Ford Focus is Toronto's gravy train

Toronto might become like the Ford Edsel
A dead car battery known as a "dead cell"
Toronto's mayoralty suffers from bloat
Like the Ford Explorer it's the size of a boat
With its own entourage and media frenzy
A lemon like the '74 Ford Mustang II not like a Bentley.
