Mayor of Mudville

“Bobbi is three days older than dirt.”

— Former Gazette Lifestyles Editor

and reporter Lea Markowitz Ringler

The pinched, worried look—

Of a small town Kansas mayor

Seems to pretty much say it all

Mayor Bobbi Mlynar and I—

Both graduated from EHS

Way back in 1962

Lovely little Emporia-

Former Athens of the Midwest

Pretty much a ghost town now

Returning to its roots—

An agricultural retirement

Town full of aging Wrinklies

Mayor Mlynar’s career—

Stints with The Gazette and

The local Funeral Home

Now the esteemed Mayor—

Of a much larger Burial

Bye Bye Sunflower State

Fly Over State

“Beware of the man

who urges an action

in which he bears

no responsibility”

—William Allen White

Elected to the Emporia—

City Commission and the

Mayor of Mudville USA

Madame Mlynar lacks—

Any hidden influences

Over City business

Serving selflessly—

She garnishes no

Financial benefits

She gives stirring—

Welcoming speeches &

Kisses Rodeo Cowboys

She recently appeared—

Quite cheerfully at the

Hostess Twinkie Strike!!!
