Boondocks Or Sticks

I went to visit Elroy, Emma, my nephew and niece In a town where all residents are missing some teeth The name of the town is Boondocks or Sticks I finally arrive and am greeted by my nephew and niece, their names are Hominy and Grits Boondocks falls in the state of Georgia and Sticks falls in the state of South Carolina The residents could not decide which name would be finer The annual vote always ends in a split I believe it will always be Boondocks or Sticks This town has a single chair barbershop The peppermint pole uses too many kilowatts Last time it was used It blew the transformer, the town was left with no power, dazed and confused There are new rumors going around A Dollar General is coming to this town I wonder if I turned on the peppermint pole would the town\'s lights begin to flick There is no other town like Boondocks or Sticks
