Happy Birthday Ontario Place it's hard to believe you are forty!
Many of us remember your inception; yet still we are feeling sporty,
Did you see North of Superior at the Cinesphere?
& pay a virtual northern visit via the IMax frontier?
Did you perhaps have your first visit upon a class excursion?
Weren't those trips fun & a schoolastic diversion?
Wasn't the forum the most dreamy venue?
So many greats that graced its fine menu?
Even free admittance during the days of the ex,
So much to offer in so many respects,
I remember seeing Harry Chapin, Lighthouse & April Wine,
The Tragically Hip, The Spoons made it simply sublime,
Muddy Waters, Blue Rodeo & Ronnie Hawkins was rockin',
Luba, The Parachute Club & David Wilcox - (he was slightly shockin')
Murray McLauchlan was one of my faves,
& as that stage revolved the lake crashed its waves.
The pubs were alright & the grass was green,
I remember smooching on the hill, when I was a teen,
Roller skating, the children's village & the price was right,
& you could have fun in the morning till long into the night,
Just a memory & just a thought or two that I hope you can all recall,
& intentionally omitted was Teen Age Head & that terrible awful brawl....
