Mr. A. G. Bell, by the Sea.

Cape Breton was his second home
Town Baddeck specifically
Alongside Bras D’Or Lake.
It does shine sun-up, like
A Golden Arm!
And our man walked it all.
Thought over problems, providences
Ideas, inventions.
Saw the Kitty Hawk fly there.
Swinging his lean-on stick.
Good walnut made by special
Scots hands in Town.
In for breakfast of a champion.
Two boiled eggs, three slices local ham
Fried potatoes, lots of onion
Brown toast overdone.
Inventions on the go.
Air travel.
Hydroplane.
Phonograph recordings.
Studies and devices for deaf folks
Speech carried miles on end
By strange can and wire principles.
“Mister Watson come here.
I want to see you “
And bringing everyone together.
Oops almost forgot, this morning
Is lawn bowls.
Remember Alexander G.
“All work and no play
Makes Johnny a very
dull Lad indeed.
Time out now.
Stretch the legs up that Hill.
Lungs being tested a wee bit.
Aye.
Love this Scotia.”
