LIVING IN TEXAS

LIVING IN TEXAS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Texas, where cowboys roam free, we’re born with big hearts, you see. With BBQ extraordinair and boots beyond compare, We’re proud of our roots, yippee-ki-yay, whee! With chili quite spicy and bold, and tales of the wild west retold, I’ll spin you a yarn, 'Neath the Texas dawn, For this native blood never grows cold! From Amarillo to San Antone, I shout, “Yeehaw!” in a twang all my own. with chili so hot, and a big ol’ pot, of sweet tea that chills to the bone. The Texas armadillos all cheer, for the BBQ smoke draws them near. With ribs piled knee high, they simply cannot deny, Life in Texas is the best—let’s be clear!

Yes ! I can feel the old Texas in this poem. Would be interested in a poem about the new Texas, Sara. Have a beautiful day, my poetic friend.

very funny...! me thinks that armadillo ate too much of our grass...they always show up in August and pick some random yard in the neighborhood to chew up. thanks for visiting, hugs, Sara
