When I was in grade school, we sang a song about Michigan. Here are the lyrics that I can recall:
Since 1837, when we became a state,
A very exciting story to you we can relate.
About a proud land, and a proud people,
And so we say to the USA:
We're not as large as Texas, but we do have land with oil.
We're smaller than Alaska, but we do have glacier soil.
.....
That's all I can remember. Ok, not great poetry. But dang if I can remember the title, or any more lines. I have tried looking up first lines of songs and poems and gotten nowhere. So, since this is my only social media, I turn to my chicken buddies. Does this ring any bells? Or can you who are so much better at internetting than I point me to somewhere to look?
Thank you, say I and the worm in my ear.
