Catamacook

 Once upon a time ‘twas a town by the nook 

The most odd and wondrous Catamacook

 For in this small town they called Catamacook 

You could only do things if you’d the letters it took

So you could not play without a “p” “l” “y” and “a”

And to “sing” while you “swing” could be so hard to do 

Unless every letter you had was times two

(Not to mention a trip to neighboring “Kalamazoo”)

But it made people clever and they’d never whine

For in Catamacook they quite fancied the wine

And it made them quite thoughtful yes they’d use their brains 

As a way to stave off the drumming of rains 

Yes it Catamacook it was quite hard to “quit”

so so much easier just to “do” “it”

And they were very kind they’d never give you a shove

Yes in Catacook they saved all “o”s “v”s “e”s to love
