This is just lovely, Bill. Creative, quirky, intelligent and true to Columbia! What a great birthday present to your home town.
Nicely done Bill.

It's nice and all, but you managed to leave out both the street I grew up on and the street I currently live on....I feel like I've wasted my entire life living on two street not worthy of this poem....
Really nice job Bill!!
P.S. The bathroom looks great.
David,
Sorry about the omission. With approximately 1200 streets, it became really tough to find a place for all of them, especially with thier suffix (Court, Road, Terrace..) omitted. If it helps any, I have lived on three streets in Columbia, and my wife has lived on two. Of the three streets I lived on, none of them made the cut, and only one of the streets my wife lived on made it into the final post. Quite honestly, the street I spent my teen years on, Elffolk Terrace, really is a tough one to put with anything.
To help remedy the situation, I will post the entire list next week, and we can get the poetry moving in many different directions; with the help of everyone in the blogosphere.
Lyrical poetry with a song in it's heart! What are the possibilities of setting this romance with The Given to music?
Okay, it's understandable why you didn't opt for the toilet fish tank in the blue room...now there's a mood setter if there ever was one :]
