Written in the Viator Poetry Form Invented by Robin Skelton (1925-1997) 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. ________________________________ August 24, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/'Tis of Thee Canada Copyright Protected, ID 18-1054-566-01 All Rights Reserved.

love this - it sounds like a beautiful country indeed - I remember the lovely card you sent me of people ice skating on the frozen river
