Ode to Canada

(Composed in Toronto during my 4hr layover on the way to London, hey you gotta do something to pass the time.)
Oh Canada, how I love you!
You are so close to London (Well, not really but closer than California)
You satisfy my craving for home
Yet at the same time leave me desiring it more.
Tim Hortons, HSBC, Hockey, Smarties…
You have everything that I need.
Faced with the decision between Starbucks and Tim Hortons,
I choose you Timmy Ho’s.
Roooooll up the rim to win.
I never win; I always get Please Try Again,
But that’s ok, I do try again.
I give you dollars
You give me loonies and toonies
Sweet deal, eh?
Your airports are clean and spacious.
Your Customs Officials are friendly and prompt.
You even stamp my passport.
English alone is not good enough for you.
You speak French as well.
Bilingual, that’s impressive.
Your temperature in celsius a system that I am not familiar with,
You leave me guessing what the weather is going to be like.
I like trying to figure things out.
You produce attractive men and your accent is dreamy
I could listen to you talk all day.
Than you for being you Canada.
I'm currently gearing up for my next adventure. Follow my blog to keep updated on what I am doing, where I am doing it, and how I am making a difference in the world. Feel free to comment on any of the entries I post, I look forward to hearing from you.
