Salem

I live in a city named Salem,
which has been known for havoc and mayhem,
there are witches and goblins galore,
you can go shopping,
while on a ghost tour,
the streets are lined with cobblestone brick,
you can have your palms read,
or  visit a psychic,
there are many of homes,
both older and new,
Salem's full of culture,
for sure, this is true,
there are many old churches,
not knowing what lurches,
there are beaches and lots of parks,
you can bring your dogs there and allow them to bark,
so if you come to Salem,
to visit or to stay
you'll have much to do,
for many a day.

I live in MA too. I loved this one. I once visited Salem on Halloween, and "Mayhem" is the perfect choice of words.
