Peter Gzowski - Canadian Radio History Poem by Nick krakana

I dedicate this poem in memory to those times many years ago - of my early morning visits to my older sister Elizabeths household - which was so full of life - two dogs - two sons - two daughters a basement and garage full of golf clubs - mix in a mischievous golf pro husband all made a perfect setting for the calming affect of the CBC morning show, Morning-side, along with the host who I liked to refer to as Mr Canada - Peter Gzowski - all filtering through that wonderful smell of burnt toast and fresh coffee emanating from Liz's kitchen through the front screen door - this truly was a memorable vignette entering her characteristically wonderful home. Her love of flowers lined the winding path a fragrance sweetly outmatched by burnt toast and coffee and of course the radio turned up to - "Morning Side" - hanging on Peters every word.
