Cities and towns
Have an interesting feel
Each..... a different appeal
Hamilton.... a seasoned old fighter
With a lifetime of rounds
Like the mill's in her town
Testing real strength......pound for pound
Timmins... a city founded on gold
Of greed... and the men it ruled
The common man who worked her drifts
His key concern... was his wife and kids
London... has an easy way
Filled with young minds
Searching each day
Drunk... on new ways
Then along comes Ottawa...
Squirming... to be free
Struggles inside unbalanced energy
Halifax... down by the sea
They say... is a place to be
Were folks have time for you and me
The northern towns
I have wondered free
Surrounded...by a sea of trees
Gives way... to a relaxed ease
Northerners..... don't really complain
They know... their life's aim
Fish when you can.... hunt in the fall
Work a little...... to pay for it all
