Galilee, Jerusalem and Port Judith...

....Rhode Island, three places in one, they're all the same,
different parts of the port have a different name;
just like in the Bible, the is a fisherman's port,
and the Block Island Ferry runs, and fishing is a sport.

Many fish are landed, on the commercial side,
while people board the ferries, for some a long ride;
We chose this place just for the names too,
places we always wanted to see, but were unable to.

West Warwick....

Old and new Natick Bridge

...Rhode Island, here's a town with history, old and new,
saved from the flood, in 2010, when it promised no view...
...of the promise it's provided; I especially like the mills,
they've been remodeled into some lofts, you may get the chills.

So if you get a chance, please just wander in,
Jerico is gone, but Arctic's standing now amid the din,
take the time to visit in Natick, see the mill,

why not do it now?  If you don't, you never will.

These are the mills where Fruit of the Loom was born,

just cotton used, so no sheep were shorn,

the undies started here in 1850, whew!

You should have seen them then, when they were band new.

One of the mills, this one is redone, nicely.

What it used to be like.....

what it's like now!

Scituate...

....Rhode Island, founded by emigrant from that other town,
Scituate, Massachusetts, a long seventy-four mile trip, town to town;
Now another former mill town, with something different to see,
the Scituate Reservoir here provides some opportunity.

That's the next Cinderella Coach up there,
grown right here, just needs a chair;
couple of wheels and a mouse or two,
some white horses, and the rest is up to you.

Woonsocket...

....Rhode Island...La ville la plus française aux États-Unis – the most French city in the United States,
that may by true, I can't say, but it's also home to one of baseballs greats;
when the textiles left New England, this is one of many gone, it's sad,
so many people out of work then, and that included my dad.

The is the hometown of Nap Lajoie, a batting average champ,
one of five in history for an intentional walk, with the bases loaded, what camp,
his batting average was an amazing feat, just great,
so, welcome to Woonsocket in the Ocean State.
