Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Town Where I Live

In this town, I've lived for 30 years
having been brought up down Ayrshire way
but meeting Christine took me away
to Renfrew where I'd for rest of life stay

It's a small town just like any other
being a royal burgh it's history's long
as it's never to be my home town
where one's born and bred is your song

Although I've said what I've just said
this town is ideally in the right place
so much good access down to the coast
as well as great transport links which is ace

Having large shopping centre on its doorstep
wherein history Renfrew Castle sat there
so that's the town where I do live
nothing great but has folk who do care

Paulette Calasibetta March 11, 2021 at 1:40 PM Hi Gordon, Sounds like you live in an idyllic town; how delightful! I assume you live in England? There is something to be said for living in a quiet 'storybook' town. Although I live in the U.S.A. I am also fortunate to live in a pastoral setting that I call home. Take Care, Paulette Gordon Mcconnell March 11, 2021 at 2:14 PM Hi Paulette, Glad you enjoyed my piece and I live in Scotland. Your place of home sounds really nice, I've also thought that it would be nice to travel across America but just to visit the smaller places and none of the big cities got see the real America. Thanks again and take care, blessings,Gordon
