Down by Elfreth's Alley
Round the corner
Round the bend
The cobblestones
Worn beneath your feet
~
Ancient voices
Call from the rafters.
Tales long and tall
Of days gone by
Trials won and lost
~
The children tug
Upon our sleeves
Who cares for history?
When right there
Is Shanes
~
A little voice yells,
"Oh, Franklin's too!"
Ice cream or
Chocolate
Whatever shall we choose?
(Elfreth's Alley, Shane's & Franklins, Philadelphia, PA)
