SATURDAY NIGHT GENEALOGY FUN: "WHERE I'M FROM"

This week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun from Randy Seaver has us
waxing poetic, Here's the challenge:

1)  Write a poem about "Where I'm From" using the template found at the website
http://www.swva.net/fred1st/wif.htm
2)  Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post,
or in a Google Plus or Facebook note.

So, for better or verse, here's mine:

I am from Fluffernutter sandwiches with Marshmallow Fluff and peanutbutter,
from jimmies and tonic and frappes.


I am from ranch houses and triple deckers with hot cement steps on a
Summer's day.


I am from the pine trees, and cardinals bright red against the snow.


I am from mountains  and seashores, from Bud and Anne, from Wests & Whites,
McFarlands & Barkers & Offingers


I am from hardworking Yankees,  funloving Irish, and silent Germans.


From  Back Street Maine and busy Boston.


I am from Protestant stock and from Roman Catholics who roamed.


I'm from Massachusetts , pot roast and Boston Baked beans.


From  John Cutter West who farmed and raised a family in Western Maine,
and from John McFarland who crossed the seas from Ireland to raise his
family in Boston as a laborer.
.
I'm from Plymouth and Boston, from Maine and New Hampshire, from
blood that runs back to the Mayflower and over the sea to Europe.


I am a New Englander, with my roots sunk deep into this place . 

Thanks Randy for an interesting challenge.
