Analysis of Kitchener, formerly Berlin ON



Came in 87 here
Father’s memories led.
Kitchener
Of factory fame
Mennonite
Meats and bread.
Solace too
For refugees.
Each a story sad
Hungary.
Yugoslavia.
Raped Sudan.
Ontario, not half-bad.
Music arts and colleges.
Open-minded stuff.
Smell that bacon
Sport new shoes
More than just enough.
