Conestogo

 

Short hop out of

Waterloo and

The RIM complex and park

Of Blackberry fame.

But this little village

Is strictly Mennonite.

Buggies. One horse bridge

River complete with

Blue heron stalking

On schoolteacher’s 

Stiff legs.

Old Mrs. Sittler’s

Bakery and confections.

(Son played NHL. Darryl.)

Have your cash and choices.

Prepared.

Or you get the scowl

And the curt remarks. 

The aproned ladies are busy

Yaknow.

Crowsfoot farmers market

And incomparable

Rib House and schnitzel.

A wonderful drive.

Slower pace and

Smell of ground

Turned over.

See a Meadowlark?

Or a Killdeer?
