The Town I Live
Holbrook


Holbrook has, such small town flair
I love the feel, that many care

You get the sense, that you belong
When people talk, concern runs strong

I was not raised, with this view
Yet feelings grow, like pleasing dew

Good people make, this place a home
You get the gist, no need to roam

Some townies talk, of long ago
When farms were big, and cows were slow

And how about, our touch of fame
The Chief of Staff, from here he came

I hope this haven, keeps its charm
A friendly spot, a welcome arm

And as we face, each growing pain
Hold to this thought, small town remain

The Poetic Plumber
Maria's


Our palate knows when food is right
We want the best that we can bite

The need for taste to satisfy
Is why we come, we do drop by

The air is fresh when we walk in
Great smell of food, no smoke within

Those special meals, Sicilian fare
Have kept my interest, year to year

So freshly made, right on the spot
Maria's touch, is in the pot

And when we need that pizza so
This place is where we sure do go

She has her help, right near her side
To kindly aid, while we're inside

And as for Peter, by the grill
His moves are steady, with such skill

So if you've read this poem here

You're in her place, your food is near.

If you're ever in Holbrook, stop in for some tasty food.  And of course, you can read this poem on the windowsill.

My Aching Back


My aching back, had brought me down
To such a point, an awful frown

I needed help, to bring me back
To build me up, get back on track

The doctor whom, I chose to see
Was - Matthew H. Kowalski

A chiropractic, whiz indeed
His hands precise, my pain soon freed

His caring way, was always there
His want to help, showed bright and clear

And of his staff, I was so pleased
Each job so fine, my mind was eased

Please take these words, of mine to heart
'When you're in pain, his hands work art'

A very thankful

Their expertise, will surely guide

And Holbrook is, their main domain
For Bob was raised, within its frame

He knows this town, from stem to stern
As does his wife, so quick to learn

They stand behind, their unique name

To buy or sell, don't stay away

To end your woes, and make that deal
