The Main Street Mind
When Mrs. Dr. Kennicott went out to Gopher Prairie,
She found the town a dull, malicious bore,
Where no one had a thought beyond the wheat farm and the dairy,
The movies and the flivver and the store.
When Henry Adams got what he declared was Education,
He gazed upon the world without a smile;
The Culture and the Politics of this amusing nation
He found unworthy anybody's while.
Though Henry found the universe a very Gopher Prairie,
(The latter being commonplace and trite),
And Carol found American existence ordinary,
I like to live here. ... Proving they were right.
