390. O my dear friends

```

“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 your 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. ```
