I am not so sure about sharing this one, because it might sound silly and be hard to understand 5543 Carolyn of the Moon 20 July 2006 Who put the ‘bee’ in BC Before Christ, before Christopher before Carolyn on a reign of day this British Columbia to province Where far away and long ago in an Orange Grove she did play Her South Africa neither to refuge as to her new foundling of a Canadian home An angel from heaven, her words sweet to savour a kind and caring heart, this Carolyn of the moon Every night and every day, toward borne to say a prayer in knowing those letters to seek For who put the ‘bee’ in BC who put the word ‘love’ in amour Before Carolyn, before all the beauty to savour another day, this time of eternity made well British Columbia, often referred to as B.C. or BC (French: Colombie-Britannique, C.-B.), is the westernmost of Canada’s provinces and is famed for its natural beauty, as reflected in its Latin motto, Splendor sine occasu (“Splendour without diminishment”). It was the sixth province to join Confederation (in 1871). As of 1 January 2006, its population was estimated at 4,279,462 The current southern border of British Columbia was established by the 1846 Oregon Treaty, although its history is tied up with lands as far south as the Columbia River. British Columbia is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on its west, by the American state of Alaska on its Northwest, and to the north by the Yukon and Northwest Territories, on the east by the province of Alberta, and on the south by the US states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. British Columbia’s capital is Victoria, located at the southeastern tip of Vancouver Island. BCs most populous city is Vancouver. Other major cities include Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, and New Westminster in the Lower Mainland; Abbotsford and Langley in the Fraser Valley; Nanaimo on Vancouver Island; and Kelowna and Kamloops in the Interior. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
