Poem
If you're passing by Soup Creek our peace loving town Do pay us a visit but wear a big smile not a frown Our town is open to everybody all colours and creed But check in your guns because those you won't need. The only people allowed guns are the sherrif and deputies If you don't check them in then the sheriff you won't please Jenna too has a permit and cradles a repeating Winchester Don't cause a ruckus in her saloon because you'll upset her. So be warned if you cause trouble you'll be treated with scorn You'll incur the wrath of the townsfolk and wish you weren't born We want everyone who comes here to have an enjoyable stay Soup Creek is a peaceful town and we aim to keep it that way. Before you reach our town you'll notice a derelict old shack A crazy woman lives there but keep going and don't look back She's bad mouthed unwashed and complains about lack of heat And she's not a very nice person and not one you'd like to meet. The derelict cattle men's office is now the towns library Where you can read dime novels and books of poetry Also on Fridays the schoolhouse teacher Miss Forsyth Holds a class for the townsfolk to help them read and write. There's a bordello located at the far end of main street All the good townsfolk don't condone it so please be discreet Every Thursday they have happy hour and services half price But please make sure you're clean and not crawling with lice. There's a new hotel called 'Aces' owned by gambler Milton Rooms have sturdy pine beds and all with clean sheets on On some very rare occasions you may have to share a bed And if you're of a bashful nature you can top and tail instead. Chinese barber Lee will shave you and he grooms ladies too Takes years off your appearance making you look like new A bathhouse is out the back where you can wash off the dust And if you like a good whiskey then Jenna's Saloon is a must. That not only sells aged whiskey but has good music too Mayor Tom and Tania sing in harmony to entertain you The saloon was nearing bankruptcy until Jenna acquired it Helped by an Aussie girl Deb and is now making a profit. Another new resident in our town is a girl from California Who has just opened a steak house and her name is Anaya She'll cook steak to your liking because she aims to please It's the best steak house you'll find this side of the Rockies. Two weeks before Christmas it's the mayor's annual parade Milton dresses as Ol' Santa and gives kids candy and limeade Ranger David and new deputy Terry give Ol' Santa a hand And there's music from across the border with a mariachi band. If you're looking for winter sports then you'll be disappointed But in the new year we have a rodeo and everyone is invited You can win fifty bucks if you can stay ten minutes on a steer Afterwards there's a hog roast and Jenna provides the beer. Sheriff Koplin never drops his guard he'll be watching everyone Because occasionally we have lowlifes who want to spoil the fun There's always something going on in our friendly little town A big Soup Creek welcome awaits you but remember no frown. If you celebrate Christmas then we hope you have a good one And if you don't then enjoy the time off and have lots of fun Soup Creek residents wishes everyone joy and good cheer And with good health and happiness in the coming new year. Written on 14th December
