.... 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!
Thank you A. Some used to say 'Argh! not 4th July again'. lol.
Well, we don’t celebrate the King’s birthday, if at all; so it’s something we can’t truly understand 🙏🏻🕊️
Thanks A.
Most welcome O🕊🙏🏻
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
Thank you SB. lol.
Nice to have choices, enjoyed the read
Thank you PL.
