Sweetness of which I partake!
Spotting some boats off a way
dotting the lake, happily
I have put down...

KentuckyHeard a soft sufting through the front door.
Must be 'nother telegram from Kentucky.
Never lived there. Never been there.
But God I bet it's beautiful.
Blue grass. Blue trees. Blue people.

A Man From KentuckyOnce knew a man from Kentucky
Had a boil on his nose, quite unlucky
A state he was in
Not Kentucky, that's dim

he looks a little confused
his mind cast in a fix
how can he concentrate on this
just a little bit
a jerky set of previews
float over and above
his articulated vision on
some confused state of fuss
he'd never seen a problem
