Thursday we choose between our generous Step-Mom,
\nwho is treating us and partying with Dad\u2019s credit cards
\nand Dr. No, who we are told will enforce our bed time<\/p>\n

We are either Wynners with all our wishes, wants
\nand desires; a celebration for the here and now forever!
\nor we are conscientious objectors who pronounce the party over<\/p>\n

The really neat thing about credit cards is the sky is the limit;
\nDream big, live large and we can chill for Step-Mom tells us
\n\u201cWe can have it all; there\u2019s no bills due and no consequences!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gotta believe her when the fun filled gaiety is supported by teachers,
\nnurses, and even the police who recount stories of shadowy Dr. No,
\nwhile they\u2019re stuffing their pockets and faces with Step-Mom\u2019s treats<\/p>\n

We are told we can happily live the dream, no curfews or alarm clocks
\nand no need to heed Dr. No\u2019s prescriptions for restoring a routine of
\npaying the bills, putting in a full day, providing for Family and community<\/p>\n

Much is at play in Ontario\u2019s election and our vote comes down to either:
\nEnchanting Step-Mom, leading a parade of partiers thru our living room
\nOr the Doctor, with his serious, sour demeanor and a scary set of rules<\/p>\n
