Mayor Rick Chapman's Holiday Poem For Shorewood

                A Happy New Year to Shorewood

                             By Rick Chapman

We come to the end of two thousand and eleven.

And it's been quite a year

and moved out, the

To this we all shed some tears

Old came down and closed doors

But we still have places to eat

Machines keep moving dirt and burning up fuel

Although with a much slower beat

Though we have had a year that wasn't our best,

We should look on it as only a test

For is strong and a great place to live

For this I will always attest

Happy New Year to you, my family, friends, and neighbors,

Because it's you, not the place, that makes Shorewood the best!
