Thesaurus Rex
Rex Murphy
You are
Our own
Our own contrarian curmudgeon,
On the CBC at night
You scold both left and right,
Our Christopher Hitchens lite.
O Rex
You dazzle and perplex
Lamenting with your plump prose
The state of the nation
In your antique hand
An after dinner stroll becomes
A post-prandial perambulation.

Rex Murphy is a pundit on the CBC’s nightly news program, the National, which is one of the last old school news programs, complete with paternal anchor man, Peter Mansbridge, and nightly panels of intelligent people who don’t shout at each other. Slim is a big fan, of the National, that is.
