Victoria by Deceit of the Pants

Description

Victoria has a secret. Salacious, lurid, exciting, these words can't describe the city enough because none of them apply! Sleepy, laid back, tree hugging, happy go lucky, well to do, exclusionary, and just a little bit facetious will get you a lot closer to the truth.
And as islanders they like it like that.

Come along on this poetic voyage as I take a look at some of the lesser known 'sights' and 'view'points to be found in one of Canada's oldest and oddest cities.

Four Sheets to the Wind
 
You may notice my style of including a (2nd voice)
A ((3 rd voice)), and a <<< 4 th _voice>>>
 
There’s the poem talking, then there's (me)
Then there's (("The Editor")) (He's an ass)
And then there's the <<<robo_people>>> (They are also asses)
So you get four voices in one poem
All for a low price
That’s double plus gooed
O’well (Get it?)
 
((Ed.'s Note: See, the pun is the word low. I'll always be here to help you. Rick has real issues (and emissions :) ))
 
<<< the_author’s_actions_are_double_plus_ungood* >>>
 
* ((Ed.’s Note: I move to strike that next sentence))
 
* <<<seconded_passed_execute>>>
 
* Avast, he was only 35 years too early!

Gall 'n' bland's Isle
Sung to 'The Ballad of Gilligan's Island'
 
Just sit right back and enjoy a toke I’ll tell of a fateful trip That started for this topic isle Aboard this tinny slip The mate was a mighty selling man The skipper brayed for sure Five passing-airs, sale set that day For a three hour tour, for a three hour tour The weather started getting rough The tinny slip was tossed If not for the courage of the fearless brew The minions would be lost, the minions would be lost The slip set ground on the shore of this
Re-tarted dessert isle With Gall 'n' bland, the Skip-air too The Me-Long-Air and his wife The Moo-vents-air
The Profess-air and Me-airy-am Here on Gall 'n' bland's Isle
