Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Superman Comics, Cuban Cigars

   Five-and-Ten, a ‘Mom-and-Pop’
      just down the road
   Ye olde-fashioned ice cream shoppe

   Round the corner a little bit
      an old barber’s pole
   Enjoy the flavor of candy-cane wit

   Near the station, a musty news-stand
      superman comics, Cuban cigars
   Circus announcements, strike up the band

   All these things: Why, they still exist!
      ~ etched in memories of indelible mist
