"Fist" is the only "ist" rhyme that isn't used in this couplet; hence, I couldn't get it out of my mind:

That I mISSED her depressed her
Young sISTer named Esther.
This mISTer to pester
She'd try...
and on and on...

Tom Lehrer, Clementine

They changed the text on the web in a way that suggests that they are referring to Route 74, which is still confusing, since it looks to be nowhere near where the couple lives, and also seems to be a pretty minor road rather than a high-speed highway. Oh, well. The dogs are super cute.
