Small Rural Town

If you blink, you might miss it.
Downtown is one or two blocks long.
Everyone knows each other,
And if you've done any wrong.

Little shops and diners,
And a small grocery store.
If you need more than they have--
You'll have to drive 30 miles or more.

The townsfolk are friendly,
Hardworking people.  Since their
Day starts before sunup, things
Shut down early--except the pool hall with beer.

You were raised in that area,
And revisit your old haunts.
Look around the schoolhouse,
And where you'd go on afternoon jaunts.

It's a small, rural town--
No one's heard of it, or knows it's location.
But they are proud Americans,
And these towns are across the nation.
