The Inflamed Appendix of the Nation
The Inflamed Appendix of the Nation
By Elton Camp
The state is very long and low
And sure no place to live or go
A tsunami could go shore to shore
And there’d be little there anymore
Or a hurricane could wipe it away
East or west in just a single day
Not that there’s a whole lot its got
Sand, insects, gators & way too hot
Why does anybody live in the place
And have such an environment to face
There are forty-nine other states
Where there would be better fates
Someday it may sink under the sea
And the vile place will no longer be
To folks there who have any sense
While you can, get yourself hence
