ALBERTA DINOSAURS
Oilpatch dinosaur Tories may dump
All good sense -- they applaud Donald Trump.
In Alberta's Drumheller
Poobahs worship that feller
(alpha-male of the species T. rump).
Giorgio Coniglio.
The above poem was inspired by recent newspaper articles reporting that there are places in Canada where people approve of the comments and attitudes of the current US president, despite widespread national disapproval.
Drumheller, a town of some 8,000 inhabitants located 110 km northeast of Calgary, has a number of distinctive features. Once the largest coal-producing site in western Canada, it can boast, due to aggressive amalgamation with neighboring communities, its status as the largest "city" geographically in the oil-rich prairie province of Alberta. Located two hours drive from Dinosaur Provincial Park, Drumheller's Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology has the largest collection of fossils in Canada, and the town vaunts this tourist attraction with a fiberglass statue of a Tyrannosaurus rex measuring over 80 feet in height.
