6 Truths

I saw the poem below in the newspaper after the snow storm that Toronto had
to put up with in 1999. I found it amusing and thought that I'd post in here.

Wimp Watch

Our heartfelt sympathies go out
to the sissy city by the lake.
Toronto, so prosperous, so perfect
- so very world class -
can't cope with all the snow.
How bad was it?
Bad enough that mayor
Mel Lastman was "petrified."
Bad enough that the army was called in.
Bad enough that the Globe & Mail
compared stranded commuters to
"Napoleon's troops returning from Moscow."
One commuter complained about
getting snow in her nylons
after she chased a non-compliant cab.

The horror, my friends,
the unimaginable horror of it
- snowstorms, in January, in Canada
