Let me live in a little prairie town,
Away from the city’s strife;
The din and glare of the thoroughfare,
Let me live the simple life.
Where friends are true, and they stand by you,
And never turn you down;
For the folks out there are all four square,
In the little prairie town.
- Tom Goodlet, Post Master of Huxley.
