A Funny Thing Happened on the Way From the 'Human Rights' Tribunal

In light of the Guy Earle ruling, I thought it was a good time to revive (and revise) this one:

Something familiar,

Something peculiar,

Something Canadian:

A travesty today!

Something appallin’,

Something like Stalin,

Something Canadian:

A travesty today!

Nothing that’s free, nothing that’s fair.

Bring on the “nice” and comics beware.

New situations,

Old complications,

Nothing offensive or outré;

Comedy tomorrow,

Travesty today!

Something outrageous,

Something contagious,

Something Canadian:

A travesty today!

Something Orwellian,

Machiavellian,

Something Canadian:

A travesty today!

Nothing that's true, nothing makes sense.

Long as the show trial now can commence!

Nothing that’s formal,

Here's the "new" normal

No oaths to swear or to purvey;

Order in the courtroom:

Travesty today!…

Nothing that’s Brit.

No Magna Cart’.

Long as we show that we have got “heart”.

Business as usual!

Meant to confuse y’all!

Dozens of Commissars at play!

Charlatans and shysters!

Marxists and spin-meisters!

Rulings and chastisements!

Cutting down to size-ments!

Lesbians!

Thespians!

Zesty's!

R.I.P.s!

Mistakes!

Fakes!

'Roos!

Short fuse!

Stumblers!

Grumblers!

Bumblers!

Fumblers!

No going back, turn for the worse.

And there’s a crappy ending, of course!

Comic politeness,

Do what is right-ness–

Look out, our future’s underway!

Comedy's been murdered.

Travesty today!
