10,297. RUCKUS

RUCKUS
Dew-Falls Montana, and
Fontaine Ruen, North Dakota;
Des Plaines, Illinois. The three
of them together are my traveloque
now of places to be. They pronounce 
that as Fontaine Rooaine, by the
way, and don't get it wrong.
-
I was never there that I didn't need
an overcoat. Those climes, even in
October, need a talking to. Every
farmer's daughter had a farmer's
story to tell, and I think I heard
them all. A real ruckus, oh, yeah,
a real noise. That's pronounced
'noyce,' - and don't get that wrong.
