You Might Be from a Small Midwestern Town If

You might be from a small midwestern town
If you know what husking corn means
You might be from Iowa
If your town was full of relatives

You might be from Nebraska
If you have heard the term huskers
You might be from Illinois
If you know a dairy cow from other cows

You might be from a small midwestern town
If your town had a square
You might be from a small town in the Midwest
If you collect money when someone dies
And give it all to the grieving
