Oh? They can‘t have fielded the kind of calls I have. The callers sounded like sensible people who were mightily upset by the secrecy and the ohâ€"soâ€"cosy treatment accorded a specialâ€"interest group There are lots of foreign trawlers, With factory ships on hand. They are fishing out the waters Off the coast of Newfoundland. Some fish plants are closing; Some boats are on the shore. Where we used to make a living, We can‘t make it anymore. The Greenpeace stopped the seal hunt, A few years ago, Going to Pot: The Waterloo council mouthpieces for the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery made it sound as if only a handful of malcontents and mouthâ€"breathers were opposed to the bailout.

But I think the big draggers Will ruin the cod fishery. Some people up in Ottawa Will tell us what to do. When it comes to foreign trawlers, They haven‘t got a clue. If they don‘t stop those big draggers And make a better plan, There will be very little cod fishing jobs vanished. There must have been a lot. Granted, some flats are probably vacant because jobless young people have returned to the family nest to live with mom and dad. Surely there can‘t be that many of them. Most parents probably welcome the return of their offspring, but there may be a few muttering this little verse: The saddest words of tongue or pen: Here come all those kids again. Wanna Bet?
