The Iowan Walk

"In a land full of corn, you've got to just laugh a little." The gravel flies out from beneath, The hicks smile with half their teeth. The corn grows, The horses have shows. Flat paths and lanes lead, All starting with the soil for the seed. As country plays on the station, Under God is our Nation, Playing close with friendly people, BINGO tonight or riding the bull. Views on the Mississippi river, During the winter we all start to shiver. Living in a reality world, The doors are slim but few are curled. For it's Iowa the seasons come, The bottles are opened with whisky and rum, Talk is everywhere about our city, here there are plenty deer to hit in pity. Tractors fly in style, Come visit and you may stay awhile. For there's casinos and bars to see, A castle called Jumers; grab a key. Viewing beauty from the peer, The beauty found in every mirror. The MidWest lives fine, It opens up glory in one to shine. The traffic flowss through each town, On the way through going up and down. The hills with cows astray, The nights over; back to the day. The city people leave for work, Sending off messages as each is a perk, Neves lending a need to be, Opening new things to see. For it's Iowa the grass grows green, The people are friendly; not too mean. The glory of the state is here, The glory is very near. Talk and walk the Iowan way, Come visity and maybe you'll stay!
