too will pipe my rustic oateu song;
In measures rough, and with untutored tongue
I'll sing of you New Hampshire's last invaders.
And celebrate your deeds, Oatmeal Crusaders
Thou too shalt live in flames immortal scroll,
Fryeburg the Far-our starting place and goal,
For out of thee came influences divine,

The beauteous Nine, with eyes that burned
bright,
Ten fire brigades will never quench their light"
And so runneth this poem to the end If oatmeal
porridge can bring forth such humorous verse we
hope some of our sober poets may take to this
