My small neighborhood park has 6 benches, all dedicated.
All, all save one, carry the names of family members.
Harry Oberman, who delivered milk for 30 year,
Is remembered as “Friend and Neighbor”.
He must have been a good guy.
Conspicuous among family plaques is one honoring Melvina Watts Hoffner,
Whose first marrige produced three children, their names are inscribed
“In Loving Memory”.
One of those names carries it’s own honorific,
James J. Watts, M.D.
Was the good doctor simply bragging?
Perhaps it was a professional listing,
Or a reminder to his deceased mother
That he did indeed finish medical school.
