North Carolina

North Carolina—a beautiful place of humble abode, On summer vacations or all the year round. Rife with history, the Wright Brothers showed, Thanks to Kitty Hawk's sand dunes at heights quite profound, Hosting Earth's first manned flight on wings at our coast. Carolina Tarheels—the battle cries loud, Across our green state, Biltmore east, towards Kill Devil Hills. Rolling gently across cotton and tobacco fields plowed, Over civil war lands defended with vigor and skill. Lakes and streams they're a plenty, abundant wildlife to boast, Identified as "Southern" south of Mason-Dixon’s own line. North Carolina place of wonder, from mountains to coast, Appalachian Trail hikers by the thousands lovingly opine. So the next time you feel, the need to discover, Visit North Carolina's splendor, with a friend, sister, or brother!
