I'M Sorry About British Columbia

I’M   SORRY   ABOUT   BRITISH  COLUMBIA

Sorry but I can’t see much nice about BC
Us prairie boys like  skies blue,  not cloudy
And our  landscapes  flatter  and taughter 
Than  those wild mountains  of ocean water. 

All those moving  waves in English Bay
Look to me as if they are coming my way.
And so many trees they just litter the beach.
In  the plains we  only need a few  beech.

BC  transport  is not a fast mover
And music on  the  ferry could be  louder
Especially  from   Victoria  to Vancouver  -  
But it does serve the world’s best clam chowder.

Yes I give poetic credit when it’s due
And it happens  in my verse  plenty of times.
But how can I write nice poems, BC, for you
When  places  like   Tsawwassen  have no rhymes?
