My Ode To the Netherlands

My knowledge of The Netherlands Came from a beloved children's book. I found the tale quite so charming I wanted to take a close look At a land that could spawn a child As brave and as strong as was he. Hans with his finger in the dike Was a folklore hero to me And when he won his silver skates, I was filled with an honest pride. My book fell apart and my dream Of sailing away on the tide. At home in The United States. We raise tulips on our estates. 4/26/14
