Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Toucan In Alaska

A dog in Alabama
    a snake in Tennessee
  A toucan in Alaska
    a mule in Kentucky

  Texas has its longhorns
    Colorado its buffalo
  Arizonans look up at mountains
    Montanans attend rodeos

  Every place a different pet
    and scenes to stir the heart
  Give me wide-open countryside
    Give urbanites fine arts

(I'm thinking of the 'Revenge of the Pink Panther,' opening scene).
