the truth is that I'd rather wait

The Town of NO=Good.
Blue G. Bard, in darlington Bee.

Have you heard of the town of No-Good,
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where the sOmetime-Or other scents the air
And the fragrant hcartsease grow:
1t lies in the valley of What's the-use,
In the province of Won the Wise,
It's the home of Od-Fogyism,
Where don't ADVERTISE
The town is old as the human race,
And it hasn't improved with years,
It's hid in the fog Of IdIers Dream,
And It's streets are sprnkled with tears.
It's merchant sits in an easy chair
And talks to bis customers three.
There's nothing humming in this town
Save the hum of the busy bee.
His shelves contain last years goods,
All covered with dirt and dust
Sometimes customer buys yard,
He does it because he must.
Do you live in this town of No-Good,
On the banks Of the river Slow,
Where business in conducted on the same old
plan
Twas fifty years ago:
Where nothing important happens
On the banks of this sluggish stream,
Where there is never rush of business
And lifeis one long dream.
Would you leave this sleepy old town,
Be up to date and be wise?
Then bear in mind this motto,
1T pays to ADVERTISE"
