Our Community
We like our community.
The citizens are you and me.
It is where we live and work.
What a great place to be.
Our leader is Mayor Brown,
She’s the boss of our whole town.
She solves all our problems and
She never lets us down.
Sergeant Dan’s a deputy.
He’s as busy as can be.
He enforces every law
To keep us safe and free.
