The Pilgrims landed more than once
First in Provincetown then later
In Plymouth
And this week we will eat turkey
To celebrate and not think too much
About Plymouth Rock, which is only a rock
Misnamed and mistreated
By tourists with chisels
Turning it to sand
Like the sand in Provincetown, positioned
As a hand
Waving to the open sea
On this rock, a myth was built, Boston Globe, Nov. 22, 2009
Joanne- this blog on Erin is just brilliant. All I can say is "Wow" and Thank you.
