About "George The Tailor"
I have known him well
Since I was 16 years old
And his personality cannot
Be "bought or sold"
For he is kind and considerate
And always a nice word
And to say anything less
Would be absurd
And not to mention his workplace
Where the "tailoring's" the best
And the "dry-cleaning" I tell you
There's no "con- test"!!!
And for your own amusement
He's got a "Marine collection"
That'll make any museum
Look "like an infection"!!!
I thank you George
For "a wonderful place"
And for keeping Dormont
In the "Dry Cleaning" race!

Hey Billy that's a pretty good poem.
You must be a poet and actually know-it! Haha!!
Well George is a wonderful man and veteran that served our country with distinction. I think he's wonderful. Also his shop does the finest alterations I have ever seen. I am glad we have his shop here in Dormont. Keep up the excellent work George!! I like to walk past his store as well; he posts some wonderful information on his windows for all to see and appreciate.
