The word unique best suits our Garrison:
There never was nor will be such a one
As he who hosts The Prairie Home Companion
Heard from the mountain tops to the Grand Canyon,
From sea to shining sea on NPR
Each Saturday at home or in your car:
Two hours of songs and skits and stories told
In ways appealing to both young and old,
Foremost of which is Keillor’s monologue, a
New chapter of his long-continued saga
Of Lake Wobegon, somewhere in Minnesota,
Which but for him we’d care not an iota;
Instead, we listen, amiably enthralled
As, week by week, more stories are installed.
