Portland

It is Victoria's birthplace or so it has been said I've been to there a few times and of it I have read It has inspired the writers stories of it to write And the poets of old Portland their poems read and recite. The locals there are friendly a welcoming sort of place On the wide streets of Portland many a friendly face A place where manmy visit the big Town by the sea In and around the City so much to do and see. A livable City Portland I know some who live there And they could not imagine themselves living anywhere Else other than their beloved Portland they do love their Hometown To be born raised and raise their children there for them enough renown. I have been there a few times and good memories I retain Of a coastal pioneer rural City to where I will return to again For I was made to feel welcome there on every Portland street Many friendly and smiling faces I happened for to meet.
