You know I hate to do this but our country is lost in its way. I do want my country back.
In that vein, here is my little ditty from my book of poems titled: “Little Poems From The Great White North.”
“Canada Day”
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
In our home and our native’s land
Hip hip hooray it’s a time to be gay
From a government that says that you can
Hip hip hooray it is Canada’s Day
As our leaderless leaders would cry
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
Forget the graft, and the cheats and the lies
Hip hip hooray it is Canada Day
With righteousness the bureaucrats hide
Hip hip hooray it’s our national day
Let’s undermine our Veteran’s pride
Hip hip hooray, it’s the Canadian way
To lose sight of a national dream
Hip hip hooray on this Canada Day
To be mired in our regional screams
So sad to say on this Canada Day
To keep integrity and values at bay
So sad to say on this Canadian day
That my country is lost in its way
This is systematic of the madness we Canadians are faced with today.
Canada renames Vancouver Street from “Trutch” to “Strong WiFi Password.”
Of course the citizens of this city, the constituents, had no say in this. This is what happens when we are captive to ideology instead of common sense.
My favorite anthem (up until 1980) and the one our brave soldiers fought to in WW1. This was when we had real soldiers and a real fighting spirit. Did you know that it was the Canadian Corp under Curry and the Australian Corp under Monash that won World War 1, during the battle of the final 100 days. Britain took credit for this because the Canadian Corp and the Australian Corp were part of the British Army at the time. The picture represents the Canadian Corp at Vimy Ridge, April 1917.
I want my country back!
Or a more rousing one – with a thousand bagpipes – one in which we marched to.
Have a great Canada Day.
Shakeyjay………Out.
