Facts About Germantown by Amir

Germantown holds the house that helped slaves escape slavery.  The name of this house is called the Johnson house. This is one of the underground rail road station. The people who lived in this house were Quakers. They worked with Europeans and freed the slaved. They wanted to abolish slavery so every African American.

Oh Germantown

The best time is always spent at Vernon Park

Or when I go to the library and read to dark

Maybe it’s the creepy historical landmarks

But with all the people I don’t know where to start

I love to see the Bantams play

Or go to play where the veterans lay

Maybe it’s walking through Fair Hill all-day

But Germantown’s the best that’s all I can say

Ode to Germantown

Thank you for the ancient libraries

And the buildings filled with scents of the past

Thank you for the air smelling of sweet and honey

And always putting the people first and yourself last

Thank you for being part of the City of Brotherly Love

That contains tall, great schools of wisdom

Thank you for the many arts, whether they are abstracts of confusion or sketches of doves

That always keep me away from the thing called boredom

Thank you for keeping me on my toes and teaching me how to strive

It is a skill I need to break my limits and open new doors

Thank you for letting me stay here, letting me feel alive

It is a privilege of pleasure, nothing more
