A Poem For Helen
At a country store near where the roads divide,
Works a pretty lady named Helen who lives in Cliffside.
Work and school take up most of her day,
To find time for anything else there's just no way.
She has a little dog it's brand I won't repeat,
With a pug nose and tiny little feet.
Every time I stop by it's a special treat,
When I look across the counter and Helen is there to greet.
