Eh! – A Poem

Poutine fries, loaded ships sailing barges on the great lakes

Pop not soda fizzes hum like poured coffee from pal tims

Holding fast to the vowel hinterland, schmoozing the “u;”

Colour not color, loosen up those vocals, ‘caught’ not ‘cot.’

Not to mention that silent vowel – ‘eh’ where ‘hey’ shushes ‘h’

Where saying sorry is the same as hello;

Entire conversations, tuques of ‘sorry,’ each

‘Sorry’ repeated as different parts of speech.

Canada, snowshoeing south, north the 49th, Queen’s rook

Swimming higher and harder than salmon in a Chinook.
