Back in the 1960s <br />Momma would ride us kids <br />Down River Street <br />To see the river, <br />The statue, the park, <br />The historical markers, <br />And the old <br />Dilapidated buildings. <br />We were wowed! <br /> <br />She'd drive slowly <br />And ever so carefully, <br />As the cobblestones <br />Would cause the old Pontiac <br />To rock and sway. <br />We enjoyed it. <br />‘Twas fun. <br /> <br />Mamma is long gone now. <br />And River Street <br />Has long been revitalized. <br />It is now a beautiful <br />and engaging site. <br />But I will always treasure <br />The memories.<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/savannah-s-river-street-excursion/
