New poem: "The Maple Leaf Forever"

 

 

The Maple Leaf Forever

 

Little did he know what he was doing

(or did he?); but Donald J. Trump, the 45th

President of the United States who won

back the Oval Office from President Joe

Biden, whose mind was in obvious decline,

became the 47th President and said, in jest,

(maybe not), that Canada should be the 51st

State of the nation that he wanted to make

great again. Trump sent such a chill into

the Canadian people that it threw the country

into such a tizzy of doubtful identity that

it felt like stepping out of a mist into the

stark reality of how separate and distinct we

are from our good friends and neighbors;

and, deliberate or not, President Donald J.

Trump did the Maple Leaf Forever

a mighty big favor.
