It isn't really very much. A Plaza and two schools. A place to work, a place to play a Rec and swimming pool. And kids have parties at the beach. They gather up a crowd. A fire, fun and games for each, Their music turned up loud. I guess it isn't quite that bad In more ways than I can tell There really are exceptions though The main one is the smell This poem isn't very good But what more can you say About our growing little place Our town of Terrace Bay. by Jenny Dorman Why you should let H&R Block worry about your income taxes. We're human, and once in a great while we make a mistake. But if our error means you must pay additional tax, you pay only the tax. We pay any interest or enalty. We stand hind our work.
