To the editor:
Cape Girardeau and Jackson
Are good towns, you see.
But don't forget the town of Chaffee.
It's a good town, and it's not
Far from my residence in Scott.
Dutchtown too is a town of renown.
When one thinks of it, one doesn't frown.
Gordonville too is not very far.
In just a short while you can get there by car.
Oak Ridge should not be forgotten
Even though there aren't many cottontails.
There are other small towns
Too numerous to mention.
Be careful when you drive through them.
The Blue Guys will put you in detention.
