Sixth

Finally, we’re into the verses where the originals were working a bit to scan properly. As a result, the pressure is off me.

On the 6th day of Christmas
Canada gave to me
Writers a-writing
High sugar treats
Professionals
Athletic stars
Far northern sites
And a nation, bounded by seas.

Think of Robertson Davies.

Stephen Leacock.

Alice Munro.

Richard Wagamese.

Pierre Berton.

And Mordechai Richler.

    Yep. Good writers all. And not to forget another writer of a different ilk: Stuart McLean.
