i wrote this after reading an online diary which was bragging about Canada's win over the US Olympic Hockey Team. i was leaving a note about how the loss has not diminished my US pride. for effect, i was including the first line of the national anthem. it went on from there . . .
whether you're Canadian or American, or somewhere in-between, as i now am, due to the fact that i live in Newfoundland, Canada, please enjoy!
Letting_it_All_Out
Oh Say Can you See
Oh say can you see
I still have my pride
The Canadians won
But the US was cheering
Who took 50 whole years?
To beat us for once?
And those penalty calls
Didn't look too endearing
And the Great Gretzky Whine
Wasn't at the best time
*"There'll be some revenge"
*I'd watch out for Fleury
Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave?
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave!!
**so, there ya have it. if you didn't understand the 11th and 12th lines, i'll fill ya in:
during the game of Czech Republic vs Canada, Roman Hamrlik checked Theo Fleury from behind. Gretzky was furious. he repeated throughout his Whine, that there would be revenge, and that Hamrlik should watch out for Fleury during the upcoming Islanders vs Rangers game.
