Up hill down hill and round about
Beautiful West Virginia route
This state may be small
But I tell you all
Big as Texas if ironed out
It’s not about your last move…
it’s about your next move
Forget about tomorrows past
—and live your dream today
(Wheeling West Virginia: July, 2019)
My House Has Many Mansions
last time we had looked
there have been many mansions
in West Virginia
One is even a Senator of great
notoriety we have heard.
An exceptional young man from the Old Dominion
Was in love with his most overrated opinion
He spouted the verse and chapter
But collapsed shortly thereafter
Because he met up with a savvy West Virginian.

There was a young lass from Gertrude
Who just loved to dance in the nude
But she had two left feet
She could not hold a beat
To top it all off she was rude
* Gertrude is a ghost town in West Virginia

I was sent to the store by my wife.
This was a part of my new life.
This little shopping trip for my wife,
Did not really cause me much strife,
If some new, then laughter would be rife.
Chocolate bars bought, to be cut with a knife.
Female items, I walked whistling like a fife.
Strangest trip to Save a Lot, I ever made in life.
Believe it or not these are actual
town names in the U.S.A. and Canada

If you hailed from South Dakota,
And someone asked you, "Where you from?"
You wouldn’t simply say, “Uh, Dakota.”
And if you grew up in the hills of West Virginia,
You’d never be inclined to just reply, “Oh, I’m from Virginia.”
But if your mind is going to Carolina,
And you knew James Taylor’s home address,
It doesn’t matter whether North or South,
You’ll navigate your way by GPS.
Call yourself obstructionist
Who blocks a popular bill
A Democrat, I think not,
From West Virginia still.
You, the arbiter of right?
Your constituents starving,
Coal companies pay your dues
Pharmacies in your pocket,
Stock is the name of your game.
Publicity you're craving
Run for the presidency!
Observe just how far you get.

[A Welsh form usually employed to
praise or deride a well-known
public figure.]
They call my home the mountain state
Though, also has many large hills.
Crazy curves that swerve sway, around.
Slipping sides of the roads do show.
.
These may be negatives to some.
However, deliver such sights
The glorious colors that flaunt,
During all the seasons that live.
Mountains stand tall over the hills.
Foliage of every hue,
Wooded centers flow all over.
Nature abounds gloriously.
West Virginia hills majestic.
Almost Heaven, they say, so free.
My home, the land of the rolling hills.
Where the trees embrace in mutual respect.
Who can truly understand the mystery of the hills without living among them?
I have learned much from the flowing waters.
I have spoken with the spirits of the earth.
I have discovered it's fiery soul.
I have sung with the whispering winds.
They have told me the same thing.
"I am STRONG,"
"I am POWERFUL,"
"I AM WEST VIRGINIA!"
