The Unknown Place of Titusville


Home we’ve created,

Generational era,

Chelton serene place.

*****

Prayer, worship with all,

Learn the power of small town,

Big fish in small pond.

*****

Small home but big heart,

Refreshing smell feels at home,

Oasis outlook.

*****

Grape Pop splat on wall,

Bar stools against the pop bar,

Laughing fills the air.

*****

Walmart blasts with air,

Is it Walmart or wolmart,

We may never know.

 

*****

Yellow Coffee Shop,

Pronounced Kauffee yelled with pride,

Known for dark roast black.

*****

Café on the hill,

Chick fried beef or want hamloaf,

Pancakes built for men.

*****

Market on the end,

Giant Eagle filled on Sundays,

Cars packed, post church crowd.

*****

Antiques hung with care,

Ancient traps on Saturday,

Fish on wall greets all.

 

*****

Donut shop on main,

Sign for when baked fresh each day,

Moms and kids intrigued.

*****

Blockbuster downtown,

Only allowed on one side,

Other side lies shame.

 

*****

City Limits ends,

Best soft serve cools hot gossip,

Town’s water cooler.

*****

Cigars and lottos,

Across from the place that’s home,

“Christians don’t go there.”
