Portsmouth is the trendiest town in the seacoast.
The restaurants are upscale,
the women are chic and the men
are all doctors and lawyers.

It's where the shore line is developed,
the renewal is urban
and giant icicles hang over the sidewalks
after winter storms.

It's where the meter maids rule,
the traffic cops wait on Miller Ave.
for someone to go over 25 mph
and everyone is pumped up
happy and gay.

Garden designers flourish,
graphic designers make out like bandits
and the e coast meets the ocean with gusto.

So take a day and go there,
rub shoulders with the in-crowd
and bask in the glow.
