Uh-oh Canada by Nancy Ames"It happened just up north of Toronto
a little ways.
A bunch of people called it in.
Turned out it was this English guy
got drunk and started driving too fast
on the wrong side of the road.
So then this guy reportedly swerved
to miss an oncoming truck and his
sedan-type car then took off and flew
off the left-hand side of the road
and landed head-first in a snow-drift
in the middle of a farmer's field.
When the patrol-car got there, the
English guy was out in front in the
headlights stuck up to the waist in
the snow and he kept yelling,
"I say, sir! Unhand me!"
The three French girls in the back seat
were laughing so hard the officer had
great difficulty extricating them from
the vehicle." 07/01/2008
Author's Note: A very serious, allegorical tale about the Canadian experience.
