The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-05-18, Page 41Ede 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 chilly dew,
Oland 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 bird that slobbers, sputters, splashes,
Hear the autumnaTplaint of a poet with a cold.
Thanks to your clammy clime my arteries are clotted
You're fit for clogs alone, Oland our forebearers plotted
And, not at my request, extorted from the sea.
