> "All Americans lecture.

> I suppose

> It is something in their climate."

> - Oscar Wilde

```

All Indians procrastinate too long.

I suppose it is something

In our climate.

All Englishmen think too much.

I suppose it is something

In their climate.

All Canadians follow too far.

I suppose it is something

In their climate.

O American friend of mine,

I wish to hear you lecture.

O Indian friend of mine,

Let us not sleep any more.

O English friend of mine,

I am sure you know

There is something far beyond thinking.

O Canadian friend of mine,

Your own goal

Is infinitely more beautiful

Than the goal of others. ```
