Paul Bunyan and Babe

Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers Minnesota Before Paul Bunyan flattened it To resemble North Dakota. Paul's blue ox Babe was equal to Most anything he'd ask. A job that takes machines today, Babe found an easy task. When Minnesota was cleared off To Paul's high satisfaction, He looked around for more to do. His huge ox needed action. He came out to the great Northwest Where he found to his surprise, The trees grew taller and so big They matched his ox for size. Babe struggled just to clear a path For wagons to get through. Paul, fearing for his valiant ox, Said, "I''m retiring you." As I said before, no man's alive To tell the end of story. It's said Paul and his ox went home To bask in their past glory.
