Greetings!

This poem takes unusual town names and turns them "inside out," so to speak, incorporating them into questions and statements that create a witty and surprising narrative. You've added in several extra town names for good measure, since the prompt only offered three. It rolls along with a rollicking meter, almost like an old-fashioned doggerel one might find in a dusty songbook. ABCB rhyme scheme is relaxed, with slightly slanting rhymes at "Maine" and "blame."

Your formatting is appropriate, with readability and three perfect genres. If I could think of anything to suggest, I might say to make it longer, moving past the eight lines from the prompt to dig up some further unusual towns that could fuel your imagination. Also, a word count is required at some contests and I nearly always include one as a formality in mine.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *WingL**HeartO**WingR*
