Ode To a Dump

They said “La Coquille is beautiful” they led me on, they lied, It's nothing but a one horse town and now the horse has died. It sits astride a major road, it's neither here nor there Amazing if you're passing through, but visit if you dare There's absolutely nothing there for you to do or see And I know of a thousand places I would rather be It's time to go, we're moving on, we've almost served our time But really for the life of me, I can't recall the crime So fare thee well, you cockle shell, a memory soon to be And Bon Courage and Best of luck to those replacing me!
