Cecil County Maryland

(Land that doth marry mother lode 

of sublime earthen land and sea).

 

Age of exploration

ushered cruel fate

against “red” men living

in bliss by agents

patch of eden north

o Mason Dixon line

latitude: 39.64839

longitude: -75.95591 alee

perchance designed

by divine providence

with dyslexic humorous bents

Cecil county Maryland

lies like plump backward letter “e”

witnessed topographic erosion

pocked imprimatur marked

meteorological dents

thru inundation of

oceanographic propensities

melding coastline like Galilee

in particular by Chesapeake Bay,

that body of water

abutting like natural fence

first witnessed by captain

John Smith in 1608

mistaking himself tong tied

in sole of Italy

learned faux pas, when crossing paths

with 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 smoke from packet of Kents

which twist on actual

historical facts manipulated by me

but more truthful account awash

and replete with more

than interspersed nonsense

and incorporates tract situated

in so called Fertile Crescent – see

settled by Europeans of English stock,

who emigrated with nary a pence

“taming” shrew like “noble savages”

plied Leviathan sized ukuleles

whose might exploited for felling forests,

which timber built cabins with vents.
