Oh Susanna!
Susanna grew up in a suburb of
Ohio. Her home was surely no mansion,
but it wasn't a shack, either. It
was a comfortable bungalow built
for a small family. The roof was
made of cedar shingles and the window
shutters were painted green.
The house didn't have a garage, but
you could see the local church
steeple from the backyard. The
home was built on a firm foundation.
On the whole, it was a great
home in which to grow up. There
was enough land for a small garden
and lawn. Susanna used to go for a
walk around the reservoir that
served the city for drinking water at
the end of the road. Susanna looks
back lovingly on her family's warm
dwelling in Ohio.
