Didn't have any intention of adding anything, but while we walked today, believe it or not we did walk along the river path, Mac said who is it that used to call you JENET.. well don't know why he thought of that, but he had a friend many years ago who knew i did not like that way of saying my name, his friend was Don Taillon - when we would be several yard away from each other he would yell hey Jenet, how ya doin' causing me much consternation in case anyone else heard him, but he was always so funny I'd end up laughing. Remembering Donald, brought up all the guys Mac used to hang out with - he remeniced saying, we would ride our bikes out to the lakeshore, and sing at the top of our lungs, "We don't care for all the rest of Canada, all the rest of Canada - all the rest of Canada oh we don't care for all the rest of Canada we're from St. Henri.",
Mac then added, Sometimes we'd sing - the English live on St. Georges St. The French they live in Cote St. paul, but the Irish you can't beat cuz on old St. patrick street, every Nation get's it's treat in Montreal, so if you come from the land of the Shamrock where kilarney's lakes are blue then sing a song and make a fuss wherever you are your one of us, if your Irish this is the place for you. ...then they'd say, who does your laundrey, o really o'riley, i really mean it ...anyway, we had fun trying to remember the words and singing while we walked.
he wasn't too interested in our song that we sang in Park Ex..
.We're the folks of park extension, singing singing all the while - singing merrily, always full of glee, we're the pride of Montreal, we'll always stand while others fall, and our district is the best in town, bet your life we can mow them down, cuz we're the folks of park extension, singing singing all the while.. he wouldn't sing that one ....oh well - too hot to fuss with anyone about anything today, so i sang it all by myself.
