Science fiction?
So
When all the grannies
Admit defeat …
The field will be clear
For …
Exercising proprietary upmanship?
Hum?
How about restitution?
How about copyright fees? What happened to old Granny’s share for all her unpaid work all those years?
What … Folly?
Not so fast
She mustn’t …
Granny having a foreign affair!
Noooooooo …
Cannot be so!
Who gets the boot?
What?
And those who will not
Admit defeat that is …
Pills my dear
Watson, pills
As is …
Don’t forget to read the labels … And the disclaimers … And the guarantees …
Adequacy
“Pay close attention to what the doctor tells you … “That is what my old granny always advised.
“Health Canada cannot guarantee the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of this information.”
And … No crying over that spoiled Devon Cream … Just clean up the mess … oh yes … and pay Granny for her contributions.
Freedom to build bombs?
Employment for
Those jobless workers
Support for orphans?
And out from the shadows
More orphans were creeping
How many were there Granny asks
And from where did they come?
Freedom to compete
Education otherwise
Go for the prize
The rare old prize
The ultimate pay-forward
No time to think
The pay-back time
May never come
The onus …
Onus on poverty-striken and powerless to prove that the world has not treated them fairly … It is not the poor who create the rules and designate the gate-keepers, who empower the CEOs. It is not the poor who earn the six-figure incomes needed to afford the lawyers and accountants and financial advisors and all their trappings.

Disclosure?

No guarantee
Accuracy,
Suitability,

No Liability
Enter at your own risk
Sweet contract huh?
Why so secret
Why …
What …
What else …
No need read
No need know
No need think
No need ask
Just sign here
Is what the man says
And those grannies too?
Did they sign?
Paid?
How much?
How long?
Was it worth it?
Ask the shareholders
Ever wonder
The cost of peace
In Canada where
Loonies and toonies
Tip the scales
Toward the Land of the Free
And the home of the brave
Where justice topples

Done for us
Done to us
Done in our name
Done without our consent
Or with it
What price have we paid
For those years
The promise of security
The promise of peace
What price
By the way … Joking aside … all those frequent flyer points … the grannies just might reconsider …
Submission rules? Which is what?
Give Granny just one good reason
To?
Sing … Like Helen Reddy? “I am woman let me”. …ROR?
Visit the salt mines of Soledar?
… So grannies might want to experience Ukraine Peace
