Oh Man I Have Heard of Des Moines

You are moving to a big city? You will be murdered before you get out of your car Thugs will take your purse and use your I-phone Rapists will break in at night and maybe kill you What big city is it? Des Moines Oh, man, I have heard of that one I will be sending you prayers. They have the Iowa State Fair there. True. They have a cultural center, and an art center. No way! They have lots of pretty neighborhoods with large lawns And oak trees and it looks pretty safe. I will call my cousin and get back to you. She has lived in Des Moines for fifty years. So it is not so bad? Oh, no. According to her, it is awful! Do you want me to give her your cell phone number? No.
