I live in a small town <br />With no rivers to sail <br />With no mountain to hike <br />No malls to choose from <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />Where you have to make <br />An appointment to see a bus <br />An extra effort to get a flight <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />Where people think <br />They know who you are <br />They know what you do <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />Where there is no traffic <br />At night streets are empty <br />Most stores closed at six <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />Where most people wear <br />Their best Sunday clothes <br />Not a bikini top in sight <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />A nonviolent town <br />No one is homeless <br />Not one starving soul <br /> <br />I live in a small town <br />And after miles of travel <br />I could say it is nice to be <br />Back home safe and warm<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/small-town-not-a-ghost-town/
