Maine GOSSIP
Town Talk
BY Albert T. Reid

Every year at lection time
The men, they come to town
And they sit, and sit, and tell the story
DER
Bout the awful shape the town is in,
The taxes. how they grow.
And the awful debt, that's getting
more and more.
The autos stave up all the roads,
The bridges need repairs
And the schools are costing money all
the time.
And the town pump. it needs mending.
We have buildings to repair,
And the way they soak US taxes is a
crime
We have moren we can tend to,
If we do another bit
We shall bankrupt 20, as sure as you're
alive,
So let's cut the preparations,
DO away with extra needs,
And let's live like grandpa did in
fifty-fve.

From 'Roostic clear to York.
And whore'er l go, it is The same. sad
At election, that of taxes. debts. and
roads and heavy bills
; And in every town it is the same old
wall.
There is one thing that seems funny,
Here's question puzzles me.
AS l journey Ger the read from day to
day,
They tell the same old story, in every
village, town.
Who's the one that tells them all just
what to say?
