Notes About The Poem

Milton Creek, Sneak Peek

NOTE: To those who will soon be joining us in Milton Creek:  
Please allow our Mayor to make the announcement. Thanks!

Lots of things are going on in the town of Milton Creek
now that the posse has returned after putting under arrest
the villain guilty of murder; but who pretended to be meek.
It's a lesson to those thinkin' of movin' to the wild West.

I've been hearing rumors that are spreadin' on the street
about a bunch of new townsfolks that are comin' this way...
to Milton Creek because it's been declared the county seat.
I'm sure they're all good people, Mayor Tom will have his say.

He don't take too kindly to those who barge their way in.
There's procedure to follow when runnin' a business here.
The town council will disapprove of sharks with a dorsal fin,
so, all citizens can live in peace, without the need of fear.

I bought what was a restaurant next door to the Aces Hotel.
It folded when many got sick from eating bad Mexican food.
Now, it's part of Milt's legacy, and I promised I'd never sell.
Dinner at Aces, dessert at the bakery, coffee: fresh brewed

Mayor Tom is off on a new adventure, but he'll be back soon
to announce the names of new residents coming to the Creek.
I'm sure he'll be calling a town meeting on the first afternoon.
For now, I thought I'd offer a glimpse, just a little sneak peek.

Terry Flood February 14, 2024 at 2:30 PM Blimey, Lin… I can barely keep track of the current residents! Anyway, I understand Light Fingered Larry and Five Knives Freddy have been seen outside the bank… maybe they’re after a mortgage. Great appetiser, I’ll await further updates. Terry Flood February 14, 2024 at 2:42 PM Appreciated…. I shall await with baited breath ;-) Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 2:37 PM You like my appeteasers? Those two sound like low life varmints or I’ll eat my Stetson, Deputy Terry. I think it’s more than a mortgage they’re after. Better warn the sheriff. I’ll soup mail you a list after the Mayor makes things official.

Mike Gentile February 14, 2024 at 4:04 AM Lookin' forward to it Lin! Thanks for the sneak peek! Well done xxoo Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 5:58 AM Morning Mike and thank you. Happy Valentine's Day! xoxo

Tania Kitchin February 14, 2024 at 3:55 AM Lin, a great poem, I can't wait for the new folks to arrive in Milton Creek! Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 5:57 AM It's exciting news, Tania! What fun it will be to welcome new residents. Thanks for your thoughts and Happy Valentine's Day. Hugs for Ziggy.

Mark Koplin February 13, 2024 at 12:54 PM I’m glad to see that nasty old Mexican restaurant gone, I don’t think she was paying rent either. Awesome ink Lin!! Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 5:55 AM Hi Mark. Thanks for your thoughts. It no longer matters, since it was closed down. That's history and I hope everyone will enjoy having a bakery in town. As soon as I know who you and Mayor Tom approve to run it, I'll create a menu to post. Happy Valentine's Day in your home. Hugs.

Jan Allison February 13, 2024 at 12:42 PM Oh Lin I am so glad the Mayor has got off his sunbed to comment - what a joy to read another Milton Creek poem and I look forward to seeing what Mayor Tom has in store for us all:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 5:52 AM What a perfect mayor he's turned out to be, Jan. Taking time out of his holiday to tend to Milton Creek business. I'll bet he's even working on his speech (next saga) to let us know who our new neighbors will be. I know we're expanding, and adding a bakery will be a perfect addition. Happy Valentine's Day

Tom Cunningham February 13, 2024 at 8:45 AM Exciting times lie ahead for Milton Creek Lin, Will be in contact with Sheriff Koplins office to vet the applications for residency permits, as a one time offer we'll waive the $10.00 fee. A big fave from me. Tom Lin Lane February 14, 2024 at 5:49 AM Happy Valentine's Day! Sorry for the delay in responding, Tom. I took most of the day off yesterday. It's generous of you to waive the permit fee. I'm certain many will apply, but your vetting process is necessary, and I'm certain you and Sheriff Koplin will be thorough in background checks. It's why Milton Creek is becoming a boom town of good people. Jan Allison February 13, 2024 at 12:42 PM enjoy your hols Mayor Tom and get inspired in the sumshine:-) hugs jan xx
