Analysis of Canada Soup



From the west coast to the east coast, Yukon and the Territories
In 1867, Canada was born and along came all the stories
The Flag was risen with the maple leaf for us all to adore
Hockey was first played and Dave Ritchie was the first man to score
In Canada we have some slangs like double double, toque and the word eh!
We don't say aboot instead of about but we always have something to say
In the winter months we don't live in igloos like many like to think
A weird fact about Canada is it is illegal to leave a bad stink
We have many famous people here such as actors, singers, writers and more
We also have heroes, the mounted police, the beaver you can even see on the shore
I could tell you so much more about Canada cause there's always something to say
Instead I leave you with these last words, Double Double, Toque, and and of course that word eh!

I am 48 years old I spent most of my life in cadets travelling across Canada, crossing the Arctic Circle on an Icebreaker and travelled through parts of Europe.Cadets was a major part of my life until I had 2 beautiful girls who I then dedicated my life too. As my youngest just turned 19 on the 21 of April this year I decided I would do something for myself and get back into poetry and see where it takes me. more…
