Donned in a bright, pink suit, Don Cherry did indeed partake in the investiture of Rob Ford by hanging the chain of office around the newly elected mayor’s head. Today, councillors and citizens alike would enjoy nothing better than to return the favour to Mr. Cherry, by hanging something all together different around his neck. (It rhymes with goose.)
The remarks made by Don Cherry in his three minute speech managed to insult pretty much everyone in the room; city and quite possibly, province. News reporters are declaring this Don Cherry/Rob Ford sideshow may have damaged Toronto’s reputation as a cosmopolitan city. Nice try but I do believe that may have happened on election night.
So in honour of Rob Ford formally taking office I have written a little ditty to the tune of Barnacle Bill the Sailor. Enjoy!
Who’s that knocking at my door?
Who’s that knocking at my door?
Who’s that knocking at my door?
Said the fair mayor.
Well it’s only Don from Kingston town.
Said Radical Rob the mayor
He’s dressed in pink and looks like a clown.
Said Radical Rob the mayor.
I’ll run this city until I croak,
Drink my beer and swear and smoke,
So what if people think I’m a joke
I’m Radical Rob the mayor
