O CANADA DAY
Dear Editor:
JULY 1st MEANS PARTY TIME
FROM SEA-TO-SEA-T0-SEA
AS THE STRAINS OF O CANADA
WAFT ON THE SUMMER AIR
LAUGHING CHILDREN FULL OF FUN
SPLASHING MADLY IN THE SUN
AND POPSICLE-STICKY-FINGERS
EVERYWHERE.
BARBECUE SMELLS
AND BICYLLE BELLS
HORSESHOES RING AND BASEBALLS FLY
IT’S CANADA DAY AND ALL IS WELL
BENEATH OUR TRANQUIL
NORTHERN SKY.
WILLIAM BEDFORD
