WIND
That promises our discontent
As heat bills to the heavens sent.
Wind power widely subsidized:
Rates are low, cost high-sized.
Many projects ill-advised,
Markets often un-realized.
To fill Brakes Cove, what's the need?
There's lots of wharf, and land in weed
Sees little use, that could be freed
To development if must proceed.
The public signed for cost to pay?
To facilitate power give-away.
That old hype pattern on project moot.
We can't afford the bill to foot -
The peoples bill! Who gives a hoot? -
- Demand a stop to our cash input.

Offshore mills! The wind is strong:
A grandiose scheme, beat the gong.
Beothuk sings a heady song
To let power flow To let flow to Up-along?
Think Muskrat Falls a precedent,
A template for a cost-ascentThat promises our discontent
As heat bills to the heavens sent.
Wind power widely subsidized:
Rates are low, cost high-sized.
Many projects ill-advised,
Markets often un-realized.
To fill Brakes Cove, what's the need?
There's lots of wharf, and land in weed
Sees little use, that could be freed
To development if must proceed.
For short-term jobs, the mayors bray:
Assemble mills in filled-in Bay.The public signed for cost to pay?
To facilitate power give-away.
That old hype pattern on project moot.
We can't afford the bill to foot -
The peoples bill! Who gives a hoot? -
- Demand a stop to our cash input.
