How to Move to Canada
is the title of a book
snagged from a Free Little Library
and packed up with the thousand things
jammed into my ailing Highlander
and squeezed through the needle's eye
of Sault Ste. Marie, mon amour
in the passenger seat and
navigating along the northern
shore of Lake Huron through Sturgeon
Falls, with a stop for lunch and to see
her lovely tante et oncle.
I am neither a rich man
nor a camel, but I do
have a heart full of love and many
bright ideas floating in my head,
not to mention an advanced degree
or two and a fairly clean
criminal record and bill
of health to help make my case,
gently and humbly, to the office
of immigration as the sun
rises at its northernmost point on
the Montreal horizon.
Love how you wrote this to inform us. With a fairly clean criminal record you can go far. 😂
Eh?
