MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN
Poem (audio)
M uch of what we make of it
I s from Happy Days reruns
L averne and Shirley too
W hat’s the real place all about?
A ppreciating beer, the Bucks and the Brewers,
U nderrated German architecture
K ohls and vintage shopping along ”KK” Ave
Ever the enormous Harley Davidson and
Even sneaky great waterway culture...
W arning from the streetwise
I t got its rough parts, no doubt
S outh Side’s a sore thumb tryin’ to heal
C ome venture downtown though
O bserve the moving Calatrava at MAM
N avigate through Pabst Mansion
S kate at bigger than Rockefeller rink, at Red Arrow
I mbibe a few brews on a bar crawl and
N osh with real Midwestern folk
