A MAINE TRAVELOGUE
By: Walter L. Colburn

		                  We journeyed to VIENNA, to PARIS and WALES,
		                  to NORWAY and to DENMARK, by auto and by rails,

		                  To EGYPT and to SMYRNA, on to CHINA and PERU,
		                  to SWEDEN and to POLAND, explored them through and through.

		                  We traveled on to NAPLES, to LISBON and to ROME,
		                  To DRESDEN and to ATHENS, and there we felt quite at home.

		                  We stopped at BELFAST, at CALAIS and at YORK,
		                  at ARGYLE and at LIMERICK to hear the natives talk.

		                  We hiked away to MILO, PALERMO, and MADRID.
		                  to COREA and to GILEAD, by big forests hid.

		                  To CORENTH and to BRISTOL, to STOCKHOLM and to LEEDS,
		                  to CARTHAGE and to CORNISH, all famed for noble deeds.

		                  Then back by way of MEXICO, in sunshine and rain and throughout
        		          the entire journey, NEVER LEFT THE STATE OF MAINE.
