The Canadian National Anthem
(Alternative Version)
Note: I am not sure why I forgot to post this on my country's birthday, but here it is now. I have continued with a particular theme... - KD.
*
Oh, Cannabis!
So high on native land.
True patriot bud,
In all thy bongs’ command.
With glowing joints,
We see red eyes,
The true north strong with weed.
From far and wide,
Oh, Cannabis,
We have dime bags for thee.
Pot, keep our land,
Bodacious and free,
Oh, Cannabis,
We stand on guard for weed.
Oh, Cannabis,
We stand and guard our weed!

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Writing while high. That is what happens when you legalize pot. Awesome. Mail me some, it must be the good stuff. Rem i am from Jamaica, so I will know.
I hold this version in very high regard.
Cracking up as I’m smoking on my weed! Lol great poem.
Really fun, thanks.
hahaha. This is wonderful. i think i may do a parody soon. Been occupied with assignments in school and work
Hah!!! This was fantastic Kendall!! I actually read/ sang it in my head to the tune of our anthem! This was so clever!! You are a word smith and this was such a great play on our anthem! I think I might like it better than our newest version that was introduced in the last couple years. 🍁 My only question is if you think this would sound as great in the bilingual/ French version?
This was brilliant, Kendall! Hilarious and even as a non-Canadian that doesn't know the lyrics to the national anthem very well, I still got it!
I am Canadian and this was as funny as f**k!!!! Well done.
Hahahahahhahahahahaha this was hilarious!
Lol, I don't even know the Canadian ntl anthem that well (I know the melody) but this was hilarious, given my limited knowledge of the og lyrics. Well done, though; it works perfectly! "Oh Cannabis | we stand on guard for weed | Oh Cannabis | we stand and guard our weed." Love these last four lines; perfect. Sidenote: Why do I feel like "bodacious" was a missed opportunity for "budacious..."? 😝🙃💜
That’s my girl you’re talking about 🥰
Haha, oh cannabis!
Hilarious!
LoL!!! That was fun!!!♥️♥️💕
