Show Me the Place, 50


“Show me the place.”
Duke Senior in As You Like It (2.1)

50: Nelsons Ledges; Nelson, Ohio (well, Garrettsville)

I used to go there as a kid—
Impressive rocks were there.
We’d sometimes have a picnic, too—
Enjoy the summer air.

I think that I remember, too,
A zoo—a small one, though.
It looked a little lean and mean—
No, not a place I’d go.

But climbing ’round the rocks back then?
Exploring with my friends?
It’s just another way I felt
That childhood never ends.
