Yerington Stories: The Lilacs of Yerington
Lilacs adorn many a yard In Yerington
Their fragrance floats on the summer breezes
chases you down the street
and catches you in pleasant surprise.
It stops you in your tracks
as you raise your nose to sniff in its fragrance
and laugh in its delight.
The mine kicks up its dusty snuff
the slaughter house smells like hell.
The onions are sweet enough
alfalfa harvest is fresh and swell
But in Yerington my favorite nasal dish
is lilacs, they are the most delish.
