THE RIVER DOG

THE RIVER DOG

A Poem by Barbara Lynne
"

my families hot dog stand...destroyed by hurricane Irene

"

THE RIVER DOG


It wasn't just a hot dog stand

It was so much more than that

People came from all around

To sit and eat and chat


The view was more than beautiful

The food was at it's best

To provide for all that joined us

Was the River Dog's main quest


The River Dog, the Coney Dog

The Long Dog and the fries

The burgers, onion rings and lobsters

I can still hear satisfied “sighs”


And don't forget the Saturday nights

With “live music” for your pleasure

Fund raisers, singers and musicians

Will be a memory for us to treasure


Hurricane Irene may have “won” for now

But please make no mistake

The friendships and the memories

Is the one thing “she'll” never take!


THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!
