Like waves from a Slender Sea

Like waves from a slender sea 

Beaver River blends into the Ohio fluently 

White caps scooped in southerly winds.

Tree limbs stripped naked of autumn leaves.

six bridge spans sewing up the land.

Betwixt the distant ridges on ridges

Lke dutch apple tart popping up on dishes

Enough flagpoles to flutter a patriot's heart

Riviting river railroads like blue jean seams

That cannot be torn apart

Rochester Bridgewater Monaca join hands

With a three river point to the Mississippi

Where soon we'll be giving family thanks

Up the shivering river banks

Here comes the freeze icing me

With tinsle lights and Christmas trees

Birthday new year greeting flora

Overdone Jesus and one lonely menorah

Life in a Pittsburgh river valley town 

Leaves Wilson's city of bones alone

Leaves it and calls it home
