A Gaelic quatrain on Canadian things
-Gayathri B. Seetharam
PLEASE NOTE: Canadian's make ‘about' sound like a one syllabic word and the rest of the world make it sound as a two syllabic word.
About a church,
I read and my internet research
Led to an idea for my mind
And this find will let me outmarch;
Sailing ships
Around the globe that make trips
With navigation done by sailors
Who as teetotalers in the day, don't slip;
Sir Franklin's voyage
Sadly did not use a buoyage
And in the ROM, a ship's bell
Shows very well, things of that age.
