The Wealthy Old Man From Kansas'There was a wealthy old man from Kansas
Wasn't concerned if he caught the virus
He was wealthy you could tell
Owned ten rolls of cottonelle
Said If I die "least I've got a clean A. S. S. ".

It Was On a Kansas FarmIt was on a Kansas farm
I saw the beauty and the charm
as I sat gazing out across the hills
Not a car or man in sight
just a blue and cloudless sky
and the smell of barley wafting from the mills
A rabbit scurried fast
and a meadowlark...

What About KansasMy lips uttered a sound not heard before, a bird trill.
I was amazed, for I had grown a beak, and knew I was an eagle.
This is new I thought, and my knee is heeled up.
I could walk, but I decided to fly instead.
Bull! I heard...

60's Cruising In Western Kansas60's CRUSING IN WESTERN KANSAS
Around the square, Camaros belching flame,
in hot pursuit of Mustangs on the prowl,
we'd change the rules but never change the game
and love was what brought on the midnight howl!
Two sisters in a Plymouth, Daddy's curse;
hair rolled up tight into a flowered...

Kansas Wheat FarmersKANSAS WHEAT FARMERS
The sky so still, one summer's afternoon,
as golden seas of wheat filled up the eye,
this was our dream, and harvest time was soon
but then the dark came to a troubled sky.
The clouds rolled in, and thunder filled the air
as winds blowed in the...

July In the Porch Swing In KansasJuly In the Porch Swing In Kansas
The wind came up first
and it was so sudden
everybody said where did that wind come from?
It sure was a refreshing south wind
but nobody thought nuch
until it got almost so dark
that mama went in and started supper.
We just had lunch...

Kansas City I-70 WestKANSAS CITY I 70 West
Across the miles unhampered by the scene
the majesty of space, the vacant sky,
the interstate that long ago appeared
as yellow brick that led to places where
a girl could have her way, or so it seemed,
past meadow lark and pheasant set to...

KansasI've traversed Kansas more times than I care to remember,
In the searin' heat of August and the chilly cold of December.
I suppose the Kansas Tourism folks would disagree with me,
But bless my soul - there just ain't all that much to see!
The roads stretch interminably...

Kansas Crush - Over the RainbowI have a serious crush on Dorthy
While she has a Kansas crush on them
The Lion and the Scarecrow
Not to mention the Tin Man
The only time you see her
These days is when
She's skipping about town with those three clowns
Her not so ordinary new friends
She says that...

Kansas TumbleweedThe Kansas Tumbleweed
Dedicated to my dear friend Garry Pfauth
The canvas of his mind carries;
Like the wild prairie winds.
Painting brushstrokes of memories;
Like ancient unknown friends.
Colors of his spirit;
Carries him back to home.
Art or visions created;
From dreams that he was shown.
Calling out to him;
From a palette...

in the sunflower state where the prairie grass grows
she would spend many days, sharing stories and dreams
Tho' my own feet have never been blessed to step near the place
I would watch as she told me, with...
