Sorta astounding news that Toronto is Canada's third safest city based on a study of 33 Canadian cities.
Montreal is the 14 th most dangerous for violent crime.
I mean it's good to be safe but a city that size being that safe? You gotta wonder what they're putting in the water.
So we're going to think of a limerick in tribute to Canada's great sister sister up the St. Lawrence.
To get you started here are some efforts from a similar contest 29 years ago.

If you plan to visit Toronto
there are two things you ought to do pronto
Take plenty to read
Take the natives some speed
Better still, just think why you'd want to.
-BT Matchett, Greenfield Park
To Toronto The Good I have been
And sampled their haute-cuisine
Stay home, Montrealers
Don't sqaunder your dollars
You get better meals in Lachine
-Alkex McGill Lasalle
You can't have a beer with the Blue Jays
The Leafs can't even score on replays
The town's number one
At having no fun
And a week in Toronto is two days.
-Connie Coris Point Claire
Driving west I stopped for a breather
But in T.O. there's nothing to see there
It's really a cinch
There's no life north of Finch
But there's not much life south of it either.
-David Brouitt, Pierrefonds
Transferred to Toronto? How dreamy
Leave behind all that's sordid and seamy
For life is well-planned
In Toronto the Bland
But there's nowhere to go for a steamy

A man had to go to Toronto
ReplyDeleteHe very much did not want to
When he arrived there
He found it not so fair
And hopped the first train he could get onto
-what's my prize?
