Detroit means 3 rivers, or so I thought, but the old Irish man disagreed.
He is disillusioned, all pshaw, naw, using his paws,
said the population is down from a million.
Mr. Collins was a typesetter, displaced by the newspaper machines.
He told me Detroit means the straight part in the river.
The tea was good, we agreed, on the patio.
He daily walks down the lane in slow motion,
says with bright eyes he's not worth a dead fly.
