In a small town <br />Everyone knows your name <br />Everyone knows your business <br />In a small town <br />Word gets around <br />Rumors fly <br />Some talk, others whisper <br />More stare, some look away <br />Gossip is the game <br />The favorite pass-time <br />Feelings get hurt <br />Feelings get spared <br />But even with all this <br />I'm proud to say <br />This is MY small town. <br /> <br />Written July 6,2008<br /><br />Shelley Caines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/small-town/
