(Once again, inspired by the Trousered Ape!)

I now reside in Arlington,
Where every Sunday's full of sun
And writer's
work is never done.
Please join me here in Arlington!
I used to work
in Roxbury,
A place of tenement and tree
Where Carmelites have a
nunnery.
Hail, blessed, wounded Roxbury!
I've never seen
Hyannisport.
I wouldn't sell that small town short.
Some folks drink
liquor by the quart
When they sail off Hyannisport.
I was baptized in
Somerville:
Lived there two years, for good or ill.
I couldn't reach the
windowsill
During my time in Somerville.
The Trappists live in
Spencer, Mass.,
Where rabbits scamper through the grass.
Their church has
wonderful stained glass!
I should revisit Spencer, Mass.

I see you have taken the form to a different place - instead of my fantastical absurdities, you have crafted lighthearted vignettes. I salute you, sir.
