A Poem: “Monty Python”

 

Pedestrian crossing

downtown Ottawa

marked by silhouette:

John Cleese performing Silly Walk.

 

Tribute to a humourist

and the beauty of bureaucrats

handling tax payers’ money.

 

I look around.

 

Parliament.

Prime Minister’s Office.

National Defence.

Bank of Canada.

CBC.

 

All within walking distance.
