Tuscany, Calgary

No leaning tower of Pisa there

No art of Michaelangelo

No vineyards, nor the Florence dome

Chianti grapes, too cold to grow

–

Instead, refreshing western air

That blows from mountains pure and wild

That flies the flags Alberta Blue

To fill the lungs of soul inside

–

In Tuscany they mow their lawns

They drop their children off at school

Cheer loudly for their local teams

Make weekend trips to Banff’s hot pool

–

A community of Calgary

200 more around it grow

Yes, life is good in Tuscany

O renaissance, thru foothills blow
