MOM`S POEM


MY HOME TOWN

BY: HARRIET R. SMITH

ON the Long Beach peninsula
In the state of Washington,
By the Pacific Ocean
Where the salmon run
Are many home towns.

FIRST is old Chinookville
Now shortened to Chinook,
Full of busy people,
on the over look

NEXT comes old Ilwaco,
Where everyone is gay
With it`s fleet of fishing boats,
All docked on Bakers Bay

Next in line is Seaview,
A lovely little place
With familiesand tourists,
With smiles on every face

Next is famous Long Beach,
Where tourists flock at will,
It`s old time shops and rides,
Give everyone a thrill

BETWEEN the ocean and Loomis Lake,
Is a place that`s called Tides West,
In my cozy home; "SMITH HAVEN"
Is the place that I love best

OCEAN Park is famous,
For the tender razor clam
No matter where you go,
The`re the best in all the land

THER`S a cozy little village,
Where happy children play
It`s lil` `ole Nehcotta,
On Willapaw Bay

FARTHER down the bay,
Where oysters grow at will
IS a sleepy little village,
It`s Historic Oysterville

ON the north end,
Living beside the tide
Some people got together,
And named it Surfside.
