My family is from this neck of the woods
No one’s ever had to show me
It’s a personal foul to pronounce with a “ree”
Ends with a “ruh” so says my pappy
The watering hole is ’bout 10 clicks S of Dixon
And a stone-throw off the old Route 66
Their barbecue brisket is mighty tasty
No tap, but a bottled cold one to tip
The flooding of ’17 was the devil
The path of the Piney spread wide
The bend of your arm called the _______
In ’18 it took a while to get inn-side
