Home Town
Location
Toddville, the place where I live
A small town right off of a busy highway
Home of Monroe Township Fire Station
Forgotten school house
Toddville, all the things I see
Bouncing balls in the ballpark
Silent scary cemetery
Abandoned run-down post office
Toddville, all the things I hear
Rushing stream hiding from
The old railroad that once stood
Two reddish-brown horses greet us
As we drive by
Toddville, all the things I smell
Great grilled summer foods
Fishy earthy pond relaxing in the sun
Smoky exhaust of the vintage car taking a stroll
Toddville, all the things I touch
Thick rubbery tractor tires
Warm wooden well-used playground set
Sunning itself in serene Monroe Park
Toddville, as you leave
Remember the bouncing balls on the field
The forgotten school house
Notice the multicolored tower waving goodbye
And wave back to it.
