Johnsonia Update and National Anthem

 Welcome to the Independent Republic of Johnsonia! If you recall, we seceded from the United States of America (irreconcilable differences) and became a country on 1 October 2020.

I, Anne Johnson, have been appointed Grand Wazoo. It's a lifetime appointment.

We've been incredibly busy with affairs of state, including collecting revenues through our Wazoo's unceasing labor. We have also undertaken infrastructure repairs ... and you know how that goes. Always more time and money than you expect.


We have, however, found time to write our National Anthem. It is to the tune of "O Canada," because you know it's okay to steal awesome national anthem tunes!


Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the singing of the National Anthem of the Independent Republic of Johnsonia!


Johnsonia

Our fertile faithful ground,

Beyond compare

The greatest land around!

From the parking drive

To the hornet hive

To the roof that needs repair,

From the sidewalk crack

To the shrine in back

We stand beyond compare!


Johnsonia

Stand up and sing!

Johnsonia, we will let freedom ring!

Johnsonia, we will let freedom ring!


Play ball.

LOVE IT! I have always liked canada's anthem better than ours; much more melodical.

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying! What a beautiful national anthem! And Grand Wazoo is a MUCH better office title than President.

I Love Titles! Who will be the Lord High Everything Else? What about Grand Vizier? Or Spiritual Guide?
