Brattleboro....

....Vermont, home of Ida Mae Baker,
proof shown, she was no faker;
Social Security number 000-000-0001, that was her,
the first check, $22.54, and it went to her.

Oldest town in the State, industrious too,
turpentine, pork, and maybe a little glue;
those were it's goods a century ago,
now it's hospitality, makes this a place to go.
