My House

DESCRIPTION: "My house is built by an old sheep corral, And I've lived there so long I've got used to the smell, But I live there so merrily, so merrily alone, In the valley of Juab, though Springfield's my home."

NOTES [52 words]: Juab is a county in Utah, very sparsely settled; it looks like a rectangle with a sort of handle on the end. The west end of the rectangle is on the Nevada/Utah border; the east end, where the handle is, is around the town of Nephi, almost due south of Provo, Utah. "Springville" is a town just south of Provo. - RBW
