Editorial: A Happy Birthday Wish to Gardner MA Mayor Michael Nicholson
| There was a Mayor of Gardner at age 28 Who more than most would carry his weight. Often worked his tail off through the night To rid his Chair City of any blight. |
| Bad Buildings were seen as impossible tasks But Nicholson lifted these felonious masks He beckoned the savvy to take on the work Never his duties any day he would shirk. |
| Now two years after taking the reins, And handling those stubborn water mains. The City is poised with construction anew, A switch has been flipped from blight to renew. |
| A promising future awaits the Chair City, Downtown Gardner awake with activity. Businesses lining up to open their doors. Prosperity Evident no one ignores. |
| Happy Birthday, Mayor Michael Nicholson Your City and its people are now one. With your leadership today and tomorrow. Joy will abound and others will follow… |
