For Jason and Amy
In the 19th Century World
many of the engineers
were Scots
Amy practices on a tiny scale
her husband, Jason
designs buildings
that please teachers and students
of the delightful towns of Maine
for many years I feared dentists
because of the man Chisholm
who didn’t use Novacain
but Amy took that all away
and gave me my smile back
and took my pain to the dump
and now she can cure the students
of Owls Head, bright and happy
in a beautiful building
and Jason takes his skills
to the Foxe’s den
and far Machias
where the Revolution began
how fortunate the M. family is
to have these parents
of two gifted artists
whose work will go
on museum walls
with the gifts given them
by loving parents
