The Best Town on the MapIt's not in distant Asia, in Egypt or Japan.It's not in France nor Russia nor on the Isle of Man;It’s not in Greece nor Italy, nor far away as Nome—It's in the country where you live the town you call your home. Be always glad to praise it no matter where you are.Be ready to defend its name and spread it near and far.And when you heur some knocker knock, respond at every rap: •'The town where I am living is the best one on the map.The little place where 1 reside is good enough for me;I love its shady nooks and dells, its air and open sea.I know it is u tiny spot, old-fashioned, quaint and odd,But every tree and leaf and shrub reveals the hand of God;So when some fellow comes along and gives the place a whack, I feel like telling him to go and nevermore come back. Because it’s much too good a place to harbor such a chap— The town where I am living is the best one on the map.If any town in which you live is baekwara, dull or slow. Why don’t you try the boosting plan, and help to make it grow ?It a little use to vilify, to kick and run it down—Such antics never built a shack, nor ever made a town.If you would have your burg become a busy growing mart. Just put your shoulder to the wheel and help it get a start; And let this little motto be enshrined upon your cap: The town where I am living is the best one on the map.—John C. Wright
