Who is Ron Thornton?

The Prime Ministers Poem

Sir John A., then Alex Mac.
Before Macdonald got back on track

Sir John died, briefly to Abbott
Then Thompson died, so Bowell had it

Tupper briefly, Laurier's long run
Borden's war, a job to be done

Meighen a bit, Mackenzie King
Meighen for months, a constitutional thing

King back in front, Bennett's depression
King once more in succession

St. Laurent, then Dief the Chief
Mike Pearson's flag, the maple leaf

Trudeaumania, a spot of Clark
Trudeau let no one freeze in the dark

Turner's turn, oh it was short
Mulroney's constitutional cavort

Campbell's months, Chretien wins three
Now Paul Martin stands on guard for thee.
