pg 165 Christmas Poem

Quote from Alongthe Fifth

"WHA TOO YOU THINK OF THIS?
from Diamond Jubilee Issue of
the Reporter
Wabamunfor white fish,
Manly for pork;
Stony Plain for golden grain
And Spruce Grove for the stork.
Blue berry for berries,
Golden Spike for hay; Brightbank for woolley sheep
And beef for Onoway.
Inga for pretty girls,
Mewassin for wheat Pine Ridge for garden truck
Which is hard to beat.
Glory Hills for horses,
Tomahawk for cows; Lac Ste.Anne for wild ducks And little pigs and so ws.
Highvalefor butter, Burtonsville for oats Keephills for peavine hay And Angora goats.
Then here's to our neighbors
Who live far and near,
May they all spend a Christmas day Full of Good Cheer.
by a Golden Spike poet of 1911"
