An American told a Canadian,
‘I am better than you.’
So the Canadian replied,
‘Show me, if it’s true.’
The American showed him bombs,
He was sending to Iraq.
‘Don’t tell anyone,
It’s an unprovoked attack.’

The Canadian told the American,
‘I am better than you.’
So the American replied,
‘Show me, if it’s true.’
The Canadian showed him brains,
He was sending to the States.
‘Please tell everyone,
There is no time to wait.’

Thank you! I was starting to think everyone hated me. But you are different.

Perhaps it's not the poet that isn't appreciated, but rather the negative political inferences between strongly allied countries.
