CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER MULRONEY
          AND THE FORTUNETELLER

Mulroney sought a fortuneteller's aid.
"What happens if I institute Free Trade?" *
He asked. She checked her crystal ball and said:
"I see a country, in the years ahead,
Swallow another." Rising to his feet,
He said: "I have a treaty to complete,"
And left, already savouring the day
When Canada absorbs the USA.
