Apologies to our Canadian Inuit

Necessary victims of freeze dried
The white ice of deadly blue progress
no harpoon redress
trust only hastened the inevitable
amongst mineral rights and the sovereign
and commercial Arctic Ventures
spouted from dollared dentures
fishing guides for the sub 49ers
searching for Char
presents of sealskin dolls
fabricated at venerialized encampments
foistered by fiats of ministerial hacks
white sympathy or arrogance
tempered by budget allocations
remainders from ministerial vacations and Canadians promising not to eat Esk,imo Pies
