Civic Holiday (Canada)

With Jesus and some children and a sheep
The funeral home Catholic calendar says
That today is “Civic Holiday (Canada)”
I don’t know what that is, this August day

Do children in Nunavit make Civic floats?
Are there midnight Civic fireworks in Labrador
Or Civic picnics in British Columbia
Or Civic costume parties in Manitoba?

I still don’t know, but God bless Canada
Whose goodness needs no excuse for a party

It's British Columbia Day here. Not sure what's happening around town. Maybe cancelled? Had out-0f-town visit with family in the carport short and sweet masked and distanced, no hugs.

God bless Canada - you're the best!

(You're also the only stable nation in this hemisphere, so please stay strong.)
