WINTERLAND!
FROM TOBERMORY
TO PELEE ISLE
THE POLAR SNOWS
COME SWEEPING DOWN
PARALYZING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT
FROM HAMLET TO BUSTLING TOWN
A WAILING GALE OF
BLINDING SNOW
RUNS AMOK ON THE
HAPLESS LAND
TO LET THE KINGS AND
CAPTAINS KNOW
THAT NATURE’S STILL
IN COLD COMMAND.

Dear Editor:
I hate to hear all the carping about the madding, shopping crowd at
Holiday- Season-time every year. I love to see the Holiday decorations
glittering in the stores and the Holiday trees all aglow in the evenings.
Then there’s the pleasure of watching the kiddies being entertained by
Old-Man-Toy-Bringer in the malls while all the old [...]

Dear Editor:
Re 8-year-olds’ brawl.
The fault, dear parents, will not be found in Don Cherry or the NHL, but in yourselves, that your kids are unruly. And, according to an ancient sage, it was ever thus: “The children are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.” Socrates, (circa,470-339 BC).

Dear Editor:
The Toronto Star recently invited Toronto citizens to partake in a questionnaire-forum hosted on-line by Mayor David Miller. I asked Miller a simple, straightforward question: “Why won’t the TTC use mini-busses after midnight and on Sundays and holidays.” Miller, Like the stereotypical politician, ignored my simple question and [...]

Come to the Forks-of-the-Credit
when nature is looking her best
it’s just what the doctor ordered
to give your frayed nerves a good rest
the cares of the day will soon melt away
in the bright golden glow of the fall
when nature slips out of her
summery green
and dons her dazzling
Fall-shawl

Subject: coverup
The French Government, the British Government and news
media, the United States Government and news media are
all part of the Diana coverup. I have been writing the
truth to the news media for ten years, but the coverup
is air tight. You will not know the truth until you
know why the United States Government was spying upon
Diana; [...]
