I can't believe I didn't recognize it. I love Dr. Seuss.

"If I Ran A Zoo ..."

by Dr. Seuss.

Making stops at West Bunglefield, Yupster and Jounce
And at Ipswich and Nipswich and, also, South Bounce
And another small town that's too hard to pronounce.

LOL, M.P.O. Where's the stanza from?

I think, as Americans, it is our God-given right to only be required to recognize two locations on the entire globe:

The United States (which would now be known as "Here")

and

everywhere else (to be officially referred to as "There").

They're afraid to stay THERE. They're afraid to stay HERE.
They think THERE is too Far. They think HERE is too NEAR.
And since HERE is too NEAR and out THERE is too FAR
They are too scared to roost where-so-ever they are.
