Yes, I am
American

I travel through
Toronto; The city
Which is said
To be little Canada

As I walk through I am
In dismay; for there
Are no Igloos, but hey
They still say “Eh”

Where is the seal
Hunt or
The beer party in the
Snow

It is hot here unlike what
They say
Way down
in Texas, and the
capital of Canada is not
Toronto, as George Bush says

But what I see
Is still quiet insane

As I travel from North to
South I
See what you may not
Believe

I see a large pizza
As they scream “CIAO”
In the streets
Of Little
Italy

I go further down
And hear an unknown language
They say they
Are Cantonese,
But yet
They look
Chinese

Little did I
Know, as I traveled
I found the Chinese
In China Town down-
Town

The more I
Walk the more
I get confused

For all I hear
Are different languages
At my feet

Portuguese

Punjabi

Spanish

Tagalog

Tamil

Polish

This is not what I see
On tv

For I am still in
Dismay; this is what
Canada is like

No igloos
Nor
Polar Bears
Nor Beer Parties
In the snowy breeze

But at least I know
They actually
Say
“EH!”
my "atwoodian" free verse
for my english class
on what it means to be uhh
canadian eh?
