This poem may “play in Peoria” well…
P ulse of the average American
E very opinion inquirer strives to get
O ld haunting grounds of
R aucous stand-ups, Pryor and Kinison
I nfielder legend of baseball, Jim Thome
A dored folk singer, Dan Fogelberg too
I ntriguing normie town, USA
L ong history with making whiskey... and penicillin
L isted high for city congeniality
I ntimate feeling despite 100 K + in population
N o-nonsense in disposition
O ldest, proudest part of the prairie state
I mpressively holds a candle to Chicago
S uch a special heartland in the nation
