Ontario Poems

Hugh, Ron, Eery

When Hugh and Ron got drunk together
and pissed a lake of mighty size,
their eery neighbor also spilled it
and let his eery waters rise.
By far superior was another
with depths of thirteen hundred feet.
His superiority was awesome
which Hugh, Ron, Eery couldn’t beat.
Below them lay Ontario Lago,
a bloke whose name is not much fun
because no matter how I

Reincarnation In Northwestern Ontario

Reincarnation In Northwestern Ontario

Much thought to time is given
In Reincarnation.
To what it would be like
To come back again
In another form.

I thought about survival,
And decided I would like to come back as a snapper
In Northwestern Ontario.
“So, please great Ganesh, Remover of Obstacles,
Don’t let them build a nuclear waste dump there!”

Lake Nipigon Recharging Stations

when i die send me 2 Thunder Bay
thundered thunder bolts r 10 dbs
Nipigon River Bridge Recharging Station currents

who’ll cross u 2 station No 8

Greater Poem

I come to you from Greater Sudbury.
The mayor Bigger too.
We offer you a greater pleasure.
Our natter greater through.

We're all about a greater mission.
The hope is greater too.
We'll look for you as greater tourists.
The pamphlets greatest woo.

We'll see you have a greater time.
Our scenery's greatest view.
Then put you in a great hotel;
your comfort greater through.

We'll sell

The Christmas Train

It was Christmas Eve, a Thursday
On the Northern Express Christmas Train
We were on our way north through the wilds
And our  destination was to be old Hornepayne

One hundred and eighty two people
Three kittens, one goat and nine dogs
Were riding up north on the railroad
Oh, I forgot to mention six hogs

There was snow coming in from

Northern Ontario

The scent of pines will carry you
across our Northern Front.
Where trees that breathe through oily bark
will lead you in the hunt.

A place where forests comb the skies
controlling even weather.
Where rain falls fast to hit the ground
that drought seems fixed to tether.

A place where frogs will leap in fear
when puddles ring their ripples.
And crickets spring to

Lake Ontario

urban noise. . .
2000 mile drive
to Lake Ontario
dreamless sleep in tent
till generators charge

Ontario Impresario

There once was a gal from Ontario
Who thought prophecy was her scenario
   In reality she spewed
   Fallacies quite crude
What an odd, erroneous impresario!
