From Maine to Maine

The haul up to Orono

was still long, mind you,

but it was considerably shorter

than the one to Erie,

and incidentally,

logged in most of the time

I've personally

spent behind a wheel

(and also by far my favorite).

In some alternate life

I ended up living in Bangor,

which by the way

ought to rhyme

with "bang her,"

not the way

I always pronounced it.
