just a stone's throw away

Okay, Americans, have a sense of humour. I know you don't all think this way ...

I remember a stop over in Atlanta
a long time ago,
a nice gentleman I met,
from Idaho ...

He asked me if he could
come up and play in the snow.
I say, "I am in New Westminster, B.C."
"Great",  he says, "I will meet you
next week for coffee,
perhaps we can ski,
I will be in Toronto."

Sure I say, "look me up,
I am just down the street,
maybe we can play hockey too,
and though I am not sure why,
the ice is a little thin
on the Pacific ocean
in July!"

i love the twist at the end of this...impressive writing that really lets the tongue-in-cheek humor shine through.

Thanks so much. I love the whole Canadian-American thing. Since most my American friends are smart like you, they don't take offense ...
