oh the joys of idyllic small town life in this whitewashed village where everyone knows everyone and everyone knows everyone’s business where the groceries are overpriced and the taxes are high and everyone but the wife knows he’s cheating where everything is a scandal and nobody will admit to knowing anything but they’ll still talk about it behind closed doors there are supposedly prostitutes on main street but i only ever see the drunk and drugged out there and if someone is single there is someone determined to find them a match all and all a very pleasant charming life we lead here what with all the arrests and the highway department yammering away on things and the way the tops of the semis scrape the bottom of the traffic lights on their way though something charming about the way the sides of the buildings all need a good power washing and there’s probably lots of good clean arsenic in the water supply scenic a most sleepy little burg they say spend some time with us and you’ll find a community you’ll find a home you’ll also find a thing or two you’ll wish you didn’t know
