Convoys arrive and restrictions quickly depart
Liberties and ringleaders are quickly arrested
Ministers seize powers and opposition is quickly silenced
Gifts and earnings are devoured after the first freeze
Then comes the media hush
Then comes the partisan retreat
Then powers suddenly go back to normal
Who still remembers how this game is played?
Those who lose will be left behind
To fend for themselves or starve
Then comes the ultimate junk food
Hot fries with cheese curds and gravy to the rescue
Of those behind the silence and starvation
Behind the powers masking the science
When poutine invades every living room
Everyone will draw six feet closer
So that biosecurity basics can sneak in
Making everyone watching happy
Then the muskrat will enter into the great narrative
Its omnivorous diet will devour world markets
And prevent harm caused by poutine
But the muskrat must be summoned first
And he only responds to one call
The delectable chirp of a desperate bird
In need of salvation from God
Only this rodent can link stars above
And save what is left of our souls
Elongating and damning us all
The next meal to be served
Is planned at a table
With nice, cushy seats that recline
Entrées and hors d’oeuvres
Are played out in pieces
On this grand chessboard
They all designed
