Giant Corn Cob

In Corn Hollow, Ohio, where the tall corn grows
There is a giant corn cob, that everyone local knows.
It was fabricated and created by Mrs. Me Ma Mose.
Back in the day – it has been featured in many shows.

Newcomers to town sometimes try to step on toes.
Saying it should be replaced, but at night it glows.
Neon yellow, as designed by our friend MeMaMose.
We ignore their suggestion, for it kind of blows.

I love those small towns and their mascots. Names like Pecan Peter or Soybean Sally are a few around my hometown. Their festivals are so much fun.

I am familiar with corn pudding, corn festivals, corn queens, corny jokes, and shucking corn- I am from Iowa, the corn state. One of our towns has an annual "Jesse James" carnival day too, honoring the day the polite bandit hit their bank.
