winters teaches the very young of

fernville where

reading writing and arithmetic but

not to the tune of the hickory stick

there's a newspaper in fernville

not just a small town newspaper but an

important one

made so by editor tom forbes

whose editorials so rich in philosophy

so rustic in simplicity are reprinted

nationally

right now he's waving to cheever's snow

cheevers owns the hotel it's homey and

comfortable

a genie bonnie faces cheapers benevolent

to a fault

fastidious

then there's the courthouse custodian of

civic rights

guarding the jail within its portals

a lonely man dan katie

for there are no problems of vice

traffic or crime in fernville

are all law abiding all save one

assumed name and personality is in your

midst

firm feels mighty proud of that boy

son why throw a lot of dirty dishwater

at people like that

maybe he's a good friend of mrs

green sure sure he is he's brought

fernville the first high-class publicity

break they ever had

you think that's good did you see those

people quarreling out there

they've been friends for 30 years that's

what the limelight is doing for this

town

fernville will never get out of knee

pads unless you wake up

when you woke up greed in these people

you killed the best thing they had

human decency yes but he's right why not

show some pep into the old rag

let's headline this contest oh you don't

agree with the policy of the paper no i

don't

it's about as modern as that sofa you
