2010 State of the Town Address Poet Only.flv

NOT WILDER

When Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town
Lots of towns were peaceful then
But a peaceful town is remarkable
In the year two thousand ten.
 
It feels so good to live here
To all of you and me;
It is fitting and appropriate
To thank the powers that let us Be.
 
An island in space
And an island in time
Where it's quite all right
For a poem to rhyme.
