Avondale and some of its Identities |
||
|
by Sue Followell (2002)
|
||
| I once knew a man called Duncan Macdonald who was rather "well built" | ||
| With a Scottish name like that I wonder if he wears a kilt! | ||
| This Duncan fellow worked hard for his business and the Avondale Community | ||
| He improved the town for the likes of
you and me.
|
||
| To celebrate, Avondale now has its own Town Square | ||
| To rest your feet or meet your friends there | ||
| Then suspended in the air | ||
| Next to Avondale's Square
|
||
| Is a gigantic spider whose name I believe is Dale? | ||
| If you are arachnophobic, passing through Avondale could make you pale | ||
| Then in August what a sad day, that "local identity" Jan Grefstad passed away | ||
| A talented man who put Avondale's Hollywood Cinema on the map | ||
| Taken before his time, such a decent
chap.
|
||
| Jan was a man I considered myself lucky to know | ||
| One of the things he will be remembered for is "The Rocky Horror Show" | ||
| So may Jan R.I.P. and will Dale become an icon? such a hairy beast! | ||
| And then there is the lady known as Lisa, who started a Historical Society | ||
| To pass down to the younger
generation, Avondale's history
|
||
| Where have the years gone? | ||
| So much knowledge to be passed on | ||
| With people like Duncan, Jan and Lisa I feel Avondale is a much better place | ||
| With a diverse cultural community of
folk from every different race ....
