Cecil County Maryland

views: 477

(Land that doth marry mother lode
     of sublime earthen land and sea). 

Age of exploration ushered hookah cud cruel fate to “red” men living in bliss by agents

   patch of eden north o the Mason Dixon line 
   latitude: 39.64839 longitude: -75.95591 alee

 perchance designed by the divine providence with dyslexic or humorous bents

   Cecil county Maryland lies like a plump backward letter “e”

witnessed topographic erosion pocked imprimatur marked meteorological dents

   thru inundation of oceanographic propensities melding coastline like the Galilee

in particular by Chesapeake Bay, that body of water abutting like a natural fence

   first witnessed by captain John Smith
   in 1608 mistaking himself in sole of Italy

learned of this faux pas when crossing paths with the Susquehannas hence

   offered tobacco sticks to natives while recovering from injured wounded knee

said other sundry tribes curiously eyed 
   then (I utilized poetic license)
took a smoke from his packet of Kents

   which twist on actual historical facts manipulated by me

but the more truthful account awash 
   and replete with more than interspersed nonsense

   and incorporates this tract situated
   in the so called Fertile Crescent you see

 settled by Europeans of English stock, 
who emigrated with nary a pence

   “taming” shrew like “noble savages”
     who plied Leviathan sized ukuleles

whose might exploited for felling forests, 
     which timber built for cabins with vents.
