Canadian Graffiti

Sprayed on a wall was the word "Eh" Now that's Canadian I would say When it comes to graffiti and the cold We got the paint the paint that can hold Checking out this urban story You might even find the word "Sorry" Canadians they say are polite Sprawled on a wall "We get it, write" With a pisst that could be shady We'll just say "Your mom's a nice lady" Feeling down on a Monday commute "Have a great day" you'll read in your suit Delinquent writer under a hood Trying hard but misunderstood On a brick a need to express "Don't build a wall" is there none the less Always writing and on the go I've even seen it written in snow Artistic expression over the top Just watch out for that strolling mall cop

I am in Montreal now and yes, you are 100 % Canadain. Multiculturalism is alive and well here. That is what makes it one of the greatest places in the world.

Dear Ronald I think I can qualify as a Canadian since I am a Canadian citizen since 1976. I lived in Montreal for 18 years where I studied and taught! I enjoyed very much your poem which left me with a broad smile! Beautiful writing my friend!
