150 Years of Canada

Barataria - The work of Erik Hare

An important holiday is coming up, worthy of celebration throughout North America.  It’s a good day for fireworks, cold Molson, and generally sucking up to the youngest large nation of this continent if only because we we might need to flee that way soon.

July 1st is Canada Day, the celebration of Canadian independence on July 1st, 1867.  More or less, that is, because Canada became a nation slowly over the next 150 years.  It was a peaceful and orderly transition that fit with a people that are generally … peaceful and orderly.  We should celebrate by all rising for their national song:

Dum da-Dum da-Dum!
Dum da-Dum da-Dum!
Dum da-Dum da-Dum!
Dum da-Dum da-Dum! …

Whoops!  That’s their second national song.  But they get tired of people from the USofA singing “O Canada”, and only that part of the lyrics, as just about the only thing from…

What about the poem?

Transit Address

Illustration by Poet Rummager I’ve hung the missing posters – stapled them to light poles. Only the wind answers back in haughty undertones. Fool, it huffs, as it slaps my face, Humanity is a runaway. No use looking. No one cares. In this desolate terrain, you’ll be soul searching in vain. United States ranks 50 […]

A Heart to Give…by Carl Gooch

By the Mighty Mumford

A Heart To Give

–

There is a home waiting,

For all who bears Jesus’ name.

We see our brothers suffering

And recall He has done the same.

–

Streets run red with martyrs’ blood

And young men cry in the night.

But Christ has washed them clean

And turned their darkness into light.

–

The Lord has revealed to all,

To be saved there is only one.

He alone forgave from the cross

Our salvation is in God’s Son.

–

We see the pain of today

But we are free from those chains.

Christ has paid sins high price

And cleanse our guilty stains.

–

Brothers we are of royal blood,

God’s word is how we should live

Loving our neighbors as ourselves

We have two hands to serve,

And a heart to give.

Such a cutie

The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)

Sunday 25th June

You are such a cutie

Blowing kisses to me

Just bouncing on my knee

Blue eyes, and so carefree

Darling little baby

Angelic as could be

With wings of filigree

xxxxxx
Miss you so much sweet Angel
