A Touch of Class
|
|
The House of Ismon
Stands alone,
Victorian structure
Built on stone,
Its sides of brick,
Arched windows tall;
Octagonal tower
Frames one wall,
A basement and
Three spacious floors
Where century-old
Memories are stored.
Here gentlemen met
At each day's end
To talk, play cards,
Smoke good cigars--
Here ladies' met,
Discoursed, drank tea,
And housed a
Lending library--
Here youths' gymnastics,
Golden Gloves;
Here dancing lessons
Awoke young love.
Now Ismon's Friends
Will soon restore
This lovely, elegant
Lass of yore,
And open wide her
Doors at last
To all who seek
A touch of class.
