I had to search out this thread, as I want to talk with my fellow canadians.
I am avoiding doing something that I promised I would do.
I have a piece of Canadian doggerel running through my head
"A promise made is a debt unpaid, and the north has it's own harsh code"
Does anyone remember that? It's from the "Cremation of Sam Magee", a poem by a Canadian poet Robert Service.
When you think about it, that is a pretty weird little poem. We had to study and memorize parts of it in grade school. Okay that was a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure they don't make students memorize poetry anymore but STILL. How did that weird little poem make it onto our curriculum?

And THEN I remembered international songs we had to learn, especially from other countries in the commonwealth (see it really was a long time ago) and they made us learn "Waltzing Matilda" from Australia.
Have you read the lyrics from Waltzing Matilda? I was in grade two, that would make me six years old. NO WONDER I have problems.

Do any of you remember the weird stuff we learned in grade school?Wally22:confusedmonkey::confusedmonkey::confusedmo nkey:
