WESTFORD - My Town!

I live in a small town

No fancy ball gowns

Not a big old city

Just roads that are muddy and gritty

No constant highway noise

Just simply country joys

There's no annoying city lights

As I watch the stars at night

It is fairly quiet and serene

No grafetti or signs that are obscene

Rarely any sirens screaming

And no where to take the dry cleaning

We have a great town common

Where you can relax and play backgammon

Oh, it's a really happenin' place

I even participated in a three-legged race

We have a parade every July Fourth

A time to celebrate our nation's birth

Eating fresh foods from the Farmer's Market

Or throw bean bags at the dunking booth target

My school is small, it's a K-8

My friends in the city can't relate

The bus ride to school seems forever long

But it is where I can usually scribble out a song

I buy and I eat lots and lots of Cow Tails

Not having to worry about the taste of stuffed snails

In our quaint little country store

Such a wonderful place to hear town lore

We have only one church

It is surrounded by lots of white birch

Everyone is treated like they are a winner

Best time of all, is at the potluck dinners

At the Red Brick Meeting House

I went to learn how to dowse

On Tuesday nights I am in a class for Yoga

I've even watched a slide show trip of Fort Ticonderoga

Our library has a limited books by Nietzsche

However, each week adults get together to learn Tai Chi

Our librarian gets books from places far, maybe near

But every summer I love being a Youth Volunteer

This town has many little quirks

But the people here aren't afraid of hard work

My favorite place is the old covered bridge

And hiking in my backyard up on the ridge

And even when I travel near and far

This town is my compass, my evening star

I appreciate everything my town has given me

I love Westford because it's the best place to be
