Hey, Remember Bobby Gimby? No? Well it doesn't matter anyway. Why would he be in a thread about Ontario? Huh? Eh? Besides, he was born in Saskatchewan.
Hey, here he is now! Bobbers!
P.S. Bobby and the picture have nothing to do with our next guest. He was originally born overseas, but has been born in other places since. He holds the Canadian record for licking his eye lids with his tongue - 16 - after a nasty motorcycle accident on the way home from Sudbury in 1973. Please welcome Murphy and his thoughts about the area south of Ottawa.
Kemptville or Bedell?
South of Ottawa, not Ficko!
Past Manotick and Greely
Beneath Enniskerry, Carsonby and Kars
Is a smallish place called Kemptville
Where the people dream of riding
On the Rideau
In the summer
When it's warm
Away from all the nonsense
That is Ottawa and Hull
Where politicians argue non-stop
Of it all
The old folks, out of boredom
Discuss the importance of the boundaries
Do you live in Kemptville or Bedell?
And should a wayward Senator
Get confused and end up lost somehow
Where 43 and 44 intersect the town
You can bet he'll be directed
By some oldster on the Rideau
Towards the water
On fair Prescott
Farther down
So just remember if you go there
And your job is somehow tethered
To the windbags that live north of this small town
Say nothing! Do not speak!
Or you'll not last out the week
'Cause they'll take you to the river
To be drowned!
