Canadian Author and Poet

'Tis of Thee Canada

For my country, proudly I wave the flag,
surround by great oceans north, east and west;
lucky to be born in Canada-  blessed,
have lots of things famous for that we brag.

Like the awesome Mounties in their red dressed,
for my country, proudly I wave the flag;
of green wilderness on and on we drag,
oh, with eh and sorry-   I am obsessed.

And sweet maple trees, maple leaves and moose,
come fishing here and put fish in your bag;
for my country, proudly I wave the flag;
sorry for Canada Geese flying loose.

Of our diversity I will brag,
eh, love poutine-  and the changing seasons;
ice, snow, beaver, hockey, beer more reasons,
for my country, proudly I wave the flag.
