A wife of Ernest Hemingway.
An American Idol singer.
A builder of hot-air balloons.
A powerful right-winger.
A county seat called Allison,
Which hosts the county fair.
But what is really curious
Is just what ISN'T there.
There's not a stoplight anywhere,
And not a KFC.
No Denny's there or Taco Bell
Or even Applebee's.
There's no McDonald's to be found.
No four-lane road, no Starbucks.
But it is well-known that Butler is
A great place to hunt ducks.
