"Two Rivers, Puh-leeze" Ithaca's Sundae Love Song to Two Rivers

An oversized historic marker in Two Rivers, Wisc., claims (mistakenly) that Ed Berners created the first sundae there in 1881. The city even sang about it in a sundae fight song delivered to Ithaca in 2006. Ithaca returned the favor in 2007 with a sundae “love song” to Two Rivers, entitled “Two Rivers, Puh-leeze.” “Two Rivers, Puh-leeze” Two Rivers, why live in denial, The story you compile, won’t play. Your sign maker, a truth faker, without sundae proof your claim’s melting away. Ed Berners off to fool the world. There's such a lot of fools you see. Though sometimes the truth may offend— still you can pretend, my sweet Wisconsin friend, Two Rivers—puh-leeze.
