Early in the Nineteenth Century,
Gifted German Potters settled
in Greensboro, near the River.
They learned to turn the gray
Clay they found under their feet
Into useful blue-gray containers,
And jugs for storing butter,
Cheese and pickled pork.
Fame of their efforts traveled far
And wide, down the Mississippi,
And beyond New Orleans.
Oh Yea Potters of Old Greensboro,
You did your job well.
This Potters Park is dedicated
In the memory of your efforts by those
Who followed you here.
Now, rest in peace.
