Around the World in the Good Ship DOGGEREL, 187

A doggerel series about the countries of the world.

United States of America.

It seems I’m getting close to home—
Perhaps no more I’ll need to roam
(In search of verse).

I’ve been around this lovely land—
Most ev’ry state (I’ve not been banned—
No need to curse).

Hawaii is the only state
Where I’ve not been (too late?).
(Go in a hearse?)

But all the others? I’ve been there!
I’ve lived in four (so nice to share).
(Fun to rehearse.)

I love this place—I have to say.
And so I think that I will stay.
(I’m not averse.)

There’s really not another place
Where I could really show my face.
(There aren’t much worse.)

(Faces, not places.)
