	On The Opeongo Line
		On the Opeongo Line the drinker drowned his grog Behind closed doors and tight-drawn blinds and chewed cloves to befog The "sleezy," "sniffy" nose that whiffs the embryo of glee A mile away and labels it rank insobriety.
		On the Opeongo Line the song of long ago Was the come-all-ye setting for the fate of young Munroe; It never lacked an audience; it filled the tender eye; It caused the old maid's heart to heave the next thing to a sigh.
		On the Opeongo Line the parish priest was boss, And for a project, by and large, was never at a loss.

		Finnigan has been at the forefront of Canadian literature and oral history since the 1960s, when Robert Weaver featured her poetry on CBC Radio, and her volumes of oral/social histories remain widely read and popular.
		One of Joan Finnigan’s major goals for this book has been to increase awareness of the Opeongo Line as a national treasure, and to arouse concern for its preservation.
