Nothing Like A Good Fantasy

Scary Fairy Sherry breeches the holy vault

of the national legislature.

A hush falls as she swoops overhead

sprinkling magic dust on all the

rotund, beefy-cheeked, porky politicians.

They stop name-calling and squabbling about

more tax breaks for the rich,

and a "cost-of-living" increase in

their own gazillion dollar "extra benefits" package,

(to be financed by cuts in services to the poor) -

the only two items on the agenda.

They stop asking, "Mr Speaker,

will Someone please tell me, Mr Speaker,

when Mr (Harper, Trudeau, Mulcair)

will tell the Canadian people

what the fuddle-duddle

is going on?"

The roars of approbation 

and equally loud disgruntled booing

come to a full stop.

They all (for once united)

fix their beady eyes, 

jowls quivering in consternation,

on the small, green eco-warrior

at the podium.

The security guards are not sure of protocol.

They finger their holsters nervously

until she shoots them a look

and they desist.

You don't want to piss off

a person with magical powers.

Scary Fairy Sherry flutters

at the microphone.

"Ahem. This is to inform you

that the Women's Revolution

has begun.

In a moment, I will strike you

mute and motionless

long enough for the Women of the World

to get our housekeeping done.

We will sweep the armies off the landscape,

open the storage silos where food 

is uselessly warehoused,

and feed the hungry.

We will order all multinationals 

to pay their fair share of taxes,

clean up their mess,

and reduce all emissions to zero,

effective yesterday.

"We will begin programs all over the world,

to protect, nurture and restore

wildlife and ecosystems.

We will develop clean energy systems

all over Mother Earth,

to provide work and reverse the damage

oil-based energy has caused.

There will fricking be

No More Fracking.

We recognize you are addicted

to the oil energy model.

When you wake up

(to a clean green world)

we will send you all to treatment

for detoxing and rehabilitation.

Do not worry.

You will find out

there is another way to live.

"All of this rehabilitation of the earth

will employ every able body, for fair pay,

thus ending poverty and hopelessness

world-wide.

Every person will have a purpose,

and a means of sustaining him or herself

and their families.

We will enforce Sustainable Only use

of resources world-wide.

We will set up Task Forces everywhere

for restoration of the health of land and sea.

"Grandmothers will replace you

in positions of governance.

We will make decisions

based upon the well-being

of our children's children's children,

to the seventh generation. 

Decisions will be based on life and health,

not greed, money or power.

And you can bet your sweet patooties

we will not be sending 

our pink-cheeked boys

into the desert with guns.

Not gonna happen.

"So you can feel, deal and heal.

Or not.

We don't really care.

We have a lot of work to do,

cleaning up all your mess.

Sweet dreams.

Nighty-night."

Scary Fairy Sherry waves her wand.

The porky politicians

topple over onto their desks

for a Hundred Year Snooze.

And the women of the world

get to work.

LOL. Don't I wish!!!!!! For Susan's prompt at Mid-Week Motif : to write about how much people can get done when they work together. Or, alternatively, one's fantasy about power. I picked the fantasy.

The fuddle duddle comment harks back to when Pierre Trudeau (father of our current incumbent) famously said the F-word in legislature, and covered it up by saying he had uttered "Fuddle Duddle".
