Sir John A MacDonald
Yes, our first prime minister was usually drunk
A fact not common in our history textbooks, that one of the Fathers Of Confederation was a complete and utter blink.
Wasted, intoxicated, befuddled and faint,
So many words to describe thee
I know he was usually buzzed,
But let's focus on the good, shall we?
One of the first to fight for bilingual parliament,
The reasons we have to learn French in our classrooms
Was because of his accomplishment.
The Canadian pacific railway,
Built under his supervision
Now now a part of Canadian history,
What a lovely addition.
He pushed for confederation,
For our nation to come together,
A push that changed our nation
A change for the better.
Now that you know, about Sir John A Macdonald,
Don't be quick to judge him,
Just because of
A bottle.
