Happy Canada Day

orchidee

.... To all Canadians!

Dating from July 1, 1867

Though sometimes I don't know all the history of it

 

With one employer we always had 4th July

Happy American independence Day

Whether we, non-Americans, liked it or not -

The causes of it, the history of it

'You will have tea and cake and celebrate!'

Groans of 'Oh no, it's 4th July again!'

Cringe-worthy celebrations. LOL.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Happy Days anyway. An American boss was better though, than horrendous non-American one that followed after - they almost went on strike, being treated as non-persons, but were too small a group to have any influence. I got caught up in an embarrassing 'grudge meeting'.

    Some countries don't have independence days to look to and celebrate... and here there appears to be a choice haha!

        Well, we don’t celebrate the King’s birthday, if at all; so it’s something we can’t truly understand 🙏🏻🕊️

            Orchi you're making me laugh again. I want to see how many sensitive people get stirred up and propose another time for tea rather that 4. Fun read Orchi
