Four Thousand Miles of Undefended Border

Most Canadians are influenced greatly By our Big Brother to the South Our cultures are very much the same We have a common life style Idolize the same pop icons We dress the same, we look the same Their dreams are our dreams Our dreams are their dreams Four thousand miles of undefended border The longest in the whole wide world That, my friends, is something to be proud of In this age of constant flare-ups That seems to happen almost daily around the world May this Canada/U.S. Friendship Forever be alive as an example to the rest of the world How civilized people can and do Exist side by side in perfect harmony I am proud to be part of this unique And enduring friendship Long live Canada, long live the U.S.A. © Jack Ellison 2014

Long Live Jack and Cathie! Dragon wants to go to Canada. I've promised he'd visit when he's older. Didn't say HOW much older. Don't worry. Besides, he discovered he had too much to pack, and he'd never leave anything behind. No! Dragon!. Penguins are NOT pack animals! Besides they're protecting their Easter Eggs! For Easter we gave each, one egg, that will hatch a chick Can't wait till they hatch! Dragon follows me, penguins follow Dragon, and chicks will follow penguins. They'll look so cute!
