Pronouncing Worcester

Yeah,

it’s spelled weird

You pronounce it
“Wistah”

Easier to say

with a cigarette in your mouth
and a chip on your shoulder

Give it the strongest grit you can offer
in the face of the unrelenting
derision

Remember

the “Wist”
is for
wistfulness

a wish for it to be
something else

the “Ah” is for
“Ah,
whatever…
it is what it is”
