This is the Poem. GOFFSTOWN In a sheltered valley The town of Goffstown lies, With foot-hills all about it, Two Mountains touch the skies. And in this peaceful valley And on the foot-hills, too, There thrives a sweet contentment And a kindly spirit true. And folks who leave this valley Return with memories sweet To view again dear Goffstown As Uncanoonucs greet. -------------- This poem is copyrighted. Please do not use without permission! (end)
