Robert Gorelick Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

O'Eleventh Province, I'm a proud new Canadian

 

O'Eleventh Province

Shall our neighbor to the Great White North
become our fifty-first state? 
To be proudly crowned their eleventh province might prove a better fate
Fresh air, clear lakes and grand vistas not to be beat
Maro-O-largo/Maple Leaf Hotel would make such a grand winter retreat
Call me a Tory turncoat if you must and I'll heartily agree
Oh Canada, my Canada, I'll stand on guard for thee!

Michael Tor February 23, 2025 at 12:42 PM Robert I admire your Patriotism and rightfully so. Love your parody logic and much respect for your unwavering support of your Canada. Don't these politicians have more important things to do then meddle in another countries affairs. You would expect an uproar from your constituents but not that I have seen, much expressed. Thank you for posting... Robert Gorelick February 26, 2025 at 12:26 PM Hi Michael, I'm still a yank, however I admire Canada's sober outlook. With all the nuttiness in Mexico and the US, I consider Canada the designated driver of North America, thanks for your visit. Robert

David Kavanagh February 19, 2025 at 2:54 PM You guys have the best of both worlds over there Robert, even a new gulf of America, which is probably causing the major gulf in erm America, one can but only laugh, the alternative is an even bigger laugh as you point out in this sardonically brilliant piece, cheers David Robert Gorelick February 20, 2025 at 12:11 PM Thanks David, I looked up "erm" not in the dictionary. Renaming the world atlas, Planet Trump not to be negotiated. Cheers, Robert
