Ode to NB

Some love for New Brunswick sent across the nation.
To entrepreneurs pushing side hustles,
To our front-line workers and our own Dr. Russell.
Our citizens acted to protect others,
Thinking of nurses, sisters and brothers.
With so much at stake and facing such trouble,
We did our best to stay safe in the bubble.
Once thought of as Canada’s sleepy drive-through,
The desire to visit steadily grew.
Come find us online and see what is in store;
When this is all over, come visit our shores.
We have the highest tides, farmers markets with loot,
The longest covered bridges and the biggest axe to boot.
A diverse place, home to rich cultures and celebrations,
Like Harvest Jazz and Blues, and Mawi’omi in first nations,
Harbours and haunts with lobsters and fiddles,
Acadian hospitality and Moncton in the middle.
From St. Andrews to Stonehaven, Madawaska to Dalhousie,
We are fun-loving Maritimes and we say it proudly,

Let’s go, everyone.

We would love to see you here.
Come for the “Frenglish” and stay for the beer.
But until the time we can meet again,
Stay two metres apart, mask up and stay safe, my friends.

Happy holidays.
