The Great White North
by David Pekrul
copyright 01-22-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

  The Great White North
Picture Credits:

Here is where I live my life,
With two great kids and one great wife,
The largest country in the world,
Its Maple Leaf has been unfurled.

Its population is quite small,
It's 'all-for-one' and 'one-for- all',
A friendly people feeling free,
If you were here, you'd soon agree.

Its politics are such a laugh,
We criticize on their behalf,
For we are free to speak our piece,
With no rebuke from our police.

A country of great wilderness,
Though I've seen little, I confess,
For in the towns I like to stay,
Where I can sleep and work and play.

But what I've seen is quite a sight,
With summer, green and winter, white,
Such beauty is like fantasy,
Come join us here and you will see.

In summer heat and winter cold,
The story of my life unfolds,
The "Great White North", my country, fair,
There is no place that can compare.

David, I could have sworn I commented on this poem before! Deja vu? Anyway, I guess with the break-up of the Soviet Union, Canada's land mass is the largest. The northern fringes of the earth make it truly a 'Great White North.' In the U.S. wars with Britain (the Revolutionary and the War of 1812), we always had our eyes on the north as a great prize but failed to conquer the land or the people. We invaded but were never successful. I'm always fascinated by events in history that could have gone the other way. The 'What ifs' always intrigue me. Your poem captures the essence of a great and unique country.
