The General Store Restaurant
The old wood building is sadly vacant and needs repairs,
but I have a dream to purchase it and bring it back to life;
it was a general store so I will call it, The General Store Restaurant,
I will retain the bygone day character, come step back in time.
I will blend the past and the present and serve comfort food,
baking crusty breads and serving maple syrup baked beans;
on certain days pea soup, and rich stews like grandma made for you,
a Canadian born chef will be helping me in the kitchen with ideas.
He knows a lot about restaurant makeovers and good eats,
all my friends want to help by being waitresses and cashiers;
they are a happy bunch of smiling faces that will greet the customers,
the people who will come to my restaurant want down home cooking.
The best thing about it is that a rapid river runs right by,
it is situated in a small village right outside the city limits;
on warm summer days I will serve afternoon tea and treats outside,
oh it will be lovely and I do hope you will come to my grand opening.
