Dunnville, oh Dunnville,
Land of bounteous splendor!
Wooded tracts of Carolinian trees
Shade our century homes.
River so Grand, home to finned fishes
And turtles that snap.
Your Dunnville Fall Fair
With it’s sheep and it’s cows
In all their bovine glory.
To your Festival of Mudcats
I raise my toast high.
Flyers and Knowles and the Smallest of Dimensions
Provide me with sustenance.
Joanne at the Queens quenches my thirst.
Oh, If only there were a good place for espresso!
But wait! Fair MINGA meets this need!
Popcorn from Sweet Retro, your scent pleases me.
Your Tiger is Giant, your Harvest is Shared
Yea though your Food is Basic
Sobey it.
Dunnville, oh Dunnville
Jewel in Haldimands crown
Thorn in Caledonia’s side.
Long may you live
Though the pickles have gone.
Candy have replaced you,
in all theif high fructose goodness.
Your former townships remain
Moulton, Dunn, Sherbrooke, Canboro
Lands of farm and field
From Lake Erie’s shores
To Hamilton Wentworth’s edge
From Niagara to Norfolk you lay.
Your microclimate is fine.
Your sandy loam and clay
Keep us agriculturally sound.
Polluting industries are few.
Walmarts are none.
Jobs would be nice, fair and well paying
Some respect from CH news perhaps?
Dunnville, oh Dunnville,
You are my kind of town.
