HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1983-05-11, Page 33Ode to the land of
galoshes and toads
O land of mud and mist, where man is wet and shivers,
Soaked with humidity, with damp and chiy dew,
O land of unplumbed bogs, of roads resembling rivers,
Land of umbrellas, gout, cold, agues, toothache flu,
0 spongy porridge -swamp, 0 homeland of galoshes,
Of cobblers, toads, and frogs, peat diggers, mildew, mold,
Of ducks and every blind that slobbers, sputters, splashes,
Hear the autumnal plaint of a poet with a cold.
Thanks to your Jammy clime my arteries are clotted
You're fit f or clogs alone, 0 land our forebearers plotted
And, not at my request, extorted from the sea.
