#Not My President. But he is. Let him live. He and his minions Are like the poor; They will always be with us. But north of you, We have a Queen. #Not My Royal Family. They're needy and expensive, Spoiled and enfranchised. An extended, big family Who gets free rides at Canada's Wonderland, Best seats at hockey games... all games For Lieutenants-Governor, Governors-General, And all the wee princesses and princes. Rideau Hall is the official residence The White House pales beside, Sussex Drive fades beside its oppulence. Celebrities and histories have planted trees there. Jack, Marilyn, Nelson, Martin and all the heavenly host Have approached those gilded doors, Pretending to bow and curtsy to an absent Queen. Back to #Not My Royal Family. I didn't get a vote.

#Not My Royal Family
#Not My President. But he is. Let him live. He and his minions Are like the poor; They will always be with us. But north of you, We have a Queen. #Not My Royal Family. They're needy and expensive, Spoiled and enfranchised. An extended, big family Who gets free rides at Canada's Wonderland, Best seats at hockey games... all games For Lieutenants-Governor, Governors-General, And all the wee princesses and princes.

Canada is burdened with a Royal Family a growing number of us abhor. #Not My Royal Family
