The Sexaholic Shopaholic Workaholic in me woos PM Justin Trudeau's patronage
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
It would be a dream come true to host PM Trudeau
With his three munchkins at my home
Not only would it be a hostess's triumph
But it would also mean the world at my feet
Undoubtedly, I would be the harried hostess
Trying to second guess what would please his PMship
As it is right now trying to anticipate his taste in my endeavours
So he can publish and pay me;
But it would appeal to the Sexaholic in me to
Make baking creations, significant like the Parliament of Canada
Or the NBA MVP Trophy of the Toronto Raptors
And maybe make pizzas and a Kannada munchie or fries and onion rings
Would he be the socially motivated top brass who was
Caught in a tete-a-tete, nursing a red wine, albeit with two others
As I put it to him, I had eyes only for him on the CTV News snippet that I saw
Despite the fact that he, handsome as always, was with the equally handsome Pres. Macron
And the attractive platinum blonde, PM Johnson,
I could always seduce him with ample cleavage
But that would not be accepted protocol
For it would be serving Ms. Sophie Gregoire a low down dirty trick
I say to the PM's wife, All's fair in love, war and moving up the career path;
What would appeal to the Shopaholic in me
Trying to find nice buys for me and my family
Or something that would bring out the beaver in me
Building a bridge across the unknown choppy waters
For I may have said the wrong thing inadvertently to the PM
He should buy bioethanol for the Canada car he is driving in my painting
And this would ensure that his fight for climate change is headed in the right direction
His policy, TransMountain pipeline which is going to connect Alberta to BC
Defies his climate change reduction strategy
But comes with the best of intentions
Do remember the BP oil spill in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico in USA;
There is the Workaholic in me who is looking to be published and paid
And funded for my self-designed T-shirts and blouses
With Wordsworth's Daffodils and The Solitary Reaper (the latter is a self-portrait)
Both with Justin Trudeau quotes
And who knows what the future has in store for me
Perhaps, if I have my academic file assessed and am granted a Ph.D in chem/biochem/biomed engineering,
Get to head a research facility affiliated to U of Toronto
Like begets like is my reasoning for the man and the living legend, Justin Trudeau,
Is also a workaholic who has tirelessly pursued Canada's interests on the world stage
And if he has slipped up from the exalted position I had placed him in,
He has been contrite and apologised
And I look at it this way, a PM-son of another PM,
Is bound to have rubbed shoulders with "men of men"
Boy! Would I love to shake hands with PM Trudeau in a work setting.
