MAINE GOSSIP
You and I Together

If we would buy Maine made cloth
and wear Maine made shoes,
!There'd really be no reason for SAD
MAINE NEWS.
If all of us united to PRAISE Names
wonderful coast,
To PRAISE our clans and Holsters,
and even sometimes boast,
About Names luscious apples, we soon
would get the rep
OF being full of action and loaded up
with pep
If we would PRAISE our products and
produce 'em everywhere,
And choke Maine knockers, ana gran
'em by the hair,
And duck 'em in the ocean to wash
their knocks away,
Right soon we would uncover NEW
MAINE DAY.
II we would PRAISE Maine, her sons
and daughters fair,
And talk about her colleges, her
schools and churches. where
She leads the minds of millions, the
WORLD would shout Murray!
And celebrate Maine in verses songs
and lay!
So let us Praise each other and buy
each others wares,
And fill our lives with sunshine and
smiles instead of glares,.
And let us pull together and all unit
ed seek
To put the best place in the world,
right on it's feet.
