AI wrote a poem about the mayor of Alderson, WV
In the hills of Alderson, where shadows may creep,
Mayor Travis Copenhaver, in secrets deep.
A tale unfolds, of events untold,
In a town where mysteries unfold.
In twenty-seventeen, an off-duty scene,
A gunshot rang, a wound so keen.
Eric Toliver's aim astray,
A chaotic dance, in the light of day.
Officer paralyzed, a town in shock,
Mayor caught in the ticking clock.
Update echoes, a shooter's claim,
An ATV mistaken, a dangerous game.
Justice elusive, in twenty-eighteen,
Eric Toliver walks, the mayor unseen.
Obstruction of justice, the mayor and three,
A twist of fate in Alderson's decree.
Twenty-twenty-one, a darker hour,
Charges mount, a storm to devour.
Burglary, conspiracy, a tale so grim,
Child neglect, and assault's cold hymn.
Residents murmur, voices rise,
Removal sought, under ominous skies.
A mayor's fall, from grace to shame,
In the whispers of Alderson, they call his name.
Twenty-twenty-two, the gavel's sound,
Indicted again, on charges profound.
A trial awaits, the mayor's fate,
Yet still he stands, in Alderson's gate.
Arraigned and set, a pre-trial date,
The mayor's saga, a twist of fate.
In the heart of the hills, where shadows play,
Travis Copenhaver, still mayor today.
