ONTARIO THE BEST
There are green fields in Virginia here its green hills
Which give the city folk a really big thrill
People can walk in the bush looking at the trees
But be careful don’t trip and scrape your knees
The roads are winding with many different scenes
Yes its better here than any place we’ve been
All around Bancroft is an area that has it all
From a cool spring to colored leaves in the fall
The springtime is nice with the melting of the snow
So heavy clothes aren’t needed wherever you go
As the snow melts we see crocus start to bloom
And the nice weather brings other flowers soon
On some spring days the weather is very hot
But on other ones most say it sure is not
When the weather warms up more cars there are
Even though most of them never go very far
The farmers in the spring are out planting crops
They keep going until done then they can stop
Houses are kept better now than years ago
As money was scarce then this we all know
The northern part of our county is rugged as can be
While the southern is more level that we all see
There is logging and other jobs but a lot of poverty
Since this is my hometown its the only place for me
The folks are friendly and some prices may be high
So when at the store what I need is all that I buy
We may look outside and say it looks like a nice day
But by noon the weather has went the other way
There is a haze looking like a fog but its no joke
It comes from a distant forest fires great big smoke
The winters may be cold but not like years ago
As I recall seeing -40c for two weeks or so.
