William Lyon McKenzie King!

Tonight, since I'm somewhat tipsy, here's another poem by Dennis Lee:

William Lyon McKenzie King

William Lyon McKenzie King
Sat in the middle and played with string
He loved his mother like anything
William Lyon McKenzie King


If you a) know who William Lyon McKenzie King was, b) know what the other two lines of the poem refer to, and c) think that's a perfect piece of history to encapsulate in a children's rhyme, then, congratulations, you're a Canadian!
