Note: John Tuach, a
geologist, is well-known to the mining and mineral exploration industry. It seems,
in addition to a keen skill for staking promising mineral claims, he has a
talent for poetry - of which I was unaware. Known to most only by his surname, Tuach, the 'bard of Pynn's Brook', has written several of
what he calls "Muskrat rants". They can be found at
www.jinglejohn.com .The Uncle Gnarley Blog has never considered the
appointment of a Poet Laureate - always thinking playwright, never settling on whether comedy or tragedy. But Tuach - in verse - sets one to thinking!
THE ITALIAN
CONNECTION?
The Muskrat
Falls fiasco, a future in the clouds,
Was planned
and manned by companies
Run by
doubtful crowds:
The one in
court for their support
To dictator,
now in shroud,
The other
that took down the dome
That once
they proudly crowed.
The Muskrat
Falls fiasco, its future in a cloud,
The
execution long been cooked,
And project
well endowed.
Will there
be a reckoning?
Will those
involved be bowed?
Unknown
beneficiaries?
Is their
escape allowed?
The Muskrat
Falls fiasco, future now in doubt,
Deception
since inception,
And silence
from those cowed.
Our leaders
past and at the prow
Have failed
- the future's in escrow.
The truth to
why, and where and how -
But justice
for the Common Joe.
