"Mr. Pearson says we do not write to him about the Flag" My dear Mr. Pearson I really am fearsome Your high reputation is tarnished and dim From mighty Peacemaker To political fakir Is a sad transformation a few votes to win. Oh dear, Mr. Pearson I wish you could hear some Of what we are saying from seashore to shore It isn't vote-getting And we are just betting The longer you keep them the higher the score. You see, Mr. Pearson If you could get near some Who make up the half of this nation and more You'd know that they'll never Accept this rag ever In lieu of a flag they can love and adore. Restore us our peace, sir And give us release, sir Unite, not divide us. In strategy wise In calm meditation, befitting your station A dignified flag, sir, be pleased to devise. excerpt from poem, Prince Edward Island 4 August 1964
