A Town Too Small

A Town Too Small By Elton Camp Bugville’s city charter should be eliminated Because it is far too small to be incorporated The mayor is also the town’s garbage collector Plus also serving as the local building inspector City council meets in back of the general store With little business, they seldom do it anymore The town’s only lawyer was disbarred years ago It’s okay, because to him there’s no reason to go Old doctor Jenkins provides family health care, If you should die, then he’s the one who’s there Doctor and undertaker a conflict may seem to be But however a case turns out, he’ll win you see Just one policeman patrols little Bugville town For expenses, not enough speeders come around Therefore, in order for some extra revenue to raise, The chief is a cop by night and runs a taxi by days The only café doesn’t serve very many hot meals As a slide line, it also carries some buggy wheels And if it is from Bugville any tourist doesn’t hail The only place he can spend the night is city jail
