25 February 1917

The Reverend William Greenway
Sailed from Wales to the USA
In Georgia to teach
He spied a ripe peach
And vowed himself wedded that day

LOL Wonder if Greenway is represented in the new movie "1917." Now I'm asking what will he teach the peach? Hugs, Carolyn

Greenway was twice her age, so I suspect she knew the right hymns. Aloha! Rico
