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.
