Sandwich Queen From Sandwich

Helga was from a small town – Sandwich Illinois
It used to have seven thousand people
It was down to five thousand now
She thought she knew most of them

She had been the sandwich queen in 2010
The fifty-seventh sandwich queen
You have to come to the sandwich fair, her friends said
She could not explain this to others,
Because they had not grown up in Sandwich

Attending the Sandwich Fair was important to her family
Especially her mother and grandmother
Both former sandwich queens
