Waldo Bunge - Master Of The Inn!!

His name is Waldo - And he greets each guest
As Master of the Cottage Inn - I feel its Lanesboro's best
You can usually find him - In the kitchen each day
Cooking up breakfast - As tasty as any Gourmet!!

He retired from teaching - Confusing to say the least
For he's busier now - As Lanesboro's chief Artiste
For Waldo and wife Marilyn - And Eric their son
Also operate the Commonweal Theatre - For work and for fun!!

Their plays are wonderful - Folks come from near and far
And go away raving - Comments such as "spectacular"
And in the midst of it all - One character shines bright
Waldo, The Master - With his smile of delight!!

He's obviously German - With a work ethic quite high
One wonders if he ever naps - This high energy guy
No matter the time - Be it day or late at night
Waldo can be found - Fighting the good fight!!

The plans have been formulated - And the architects paid
For the theatre expansion - Beautiful and custom made
Beside the current theatre - It will be a sight to behold
When Waldo describes it - His eyes shine like gold!!

Lanesboro is the center - Of Southeastern Minnesota fun
Where the free spirits come - To bike in the sun
The trails are a plenty - But there are other things to do
Make your reservations early - Or there'll be no room for you!!

You can visit the Amish - If you're curious how they live
You'll find it quite interesting - An exciting tour they give
And the many local stores - Of crafts and gifts galore
Or you could just sit on the porch - With a bottle of wine to pour!!

So if you're looking for relaxation - And a place to slow life down
Get a little closer to nature - Then Lanesboro is the town
The Cottage Inn will welcome you - Just like you were an old friend
Be sure to sign up for breakfast - This, I highly recommend!!
