Rienzi soared from
Tea leaves in plantations
Crows, pythons, panthers
And sticky heat.
Torn from colonial masters.
To icy driveways
Where no amount of
Canadian Tire traction salt
Would do the trick.
But his kids loved
The toboggan hill
And Mr Dressup
On CKCO.
Dandelions peppering
lawns with silvery fluff.
Santa Claus parades where
Shriners in fez drove
Their little four-wheelers.
And bagpipes wheezed.
Faithful parishioners
singing the Cantata for
Easter at Saint Agnes Church.
“Now thank we all our God
With heart and hands and voices.
Who wondrous things hath wrought…”
