A Cultural Thing by Chris Sorrenti
Aren’t that many differences
Between Canadians and Americans
Both thinking their country
The greatest in the world
Though no argument
Canada would have difficulty
Surviving militarily
Without the United States
Parliament vs. Congress
And out of that now
We have Trudeau
They have Trump
Who will last longest
A running discussion
At any water cooler
Thing I’ve never figured out though
Freshman...Sophomore...Junior...Senior...???
Although Canadians would agree
High school
One of the most important periods
In a young person’s life
We Canucks have never felt the need
To label each grade
Knowing pretty well
Just by looking at someone
Where they fit into
The academic food chain
