Poem: ‘Guarding The Guards’

 

The RCMP face complaints of

sexual harassment in the

workplace.

 

Nothing new, some say;

this behaviour has been the norm for

years.

 

Top brass have difficulty handling the

situation.

 

They can’t figure out

why women officers are so

unreceptive,

why they don’t take off their shirts more

quickly

when approached by the

guys.
