Oompa Loompa

My deepest apologies to Roald Dahl…
Come on, sing along! (You know you will!) 8-)

Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-doh,
Prunus persica urb’s where you go.
Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-dee,
South seven-four will get you to me.

Where would you go to play ball with your feet?
Or hit a home run, kicking dirt with your cleats?
Jim didn’t have a Gettysburg command,
But this guy—the North’s side—took a stand.

(A lame connection, it is true,
But how else can I give the clue???)

Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-dee,
Park in the lot and find post M-16,
Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-dog,
Proceed, trees left, fields right, until a log.

Seven and twenty steps you have made;
The log’s on the left, turn and enter the shade.
Go forth nine steps ‘til you see a spiked tree,
At ninety degrees, tell what you see?

Twenty five steps off you see,
A huge two-trunk’d sweet gum tree…

Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-doh,
Now head due North and see where you go,
Oompa Loompa Loompa-di-dee,
Ten big steps and you’ve arrived here with me!
