Remember The Fifty States
© 2012 William Clark
Alabama and Alaska
are the first of fifty states.
Arizona and old Arkansas are two of
fifty greats. (Arkensaw)
California, Colorado and Connecticut
as well,
And Delaware and Florida all make the
numbers swell.
There's Georgia, Hawaii too,
and lengthy Idaho,
With Illinois and Indiana, thirty-six
to go.
Now, Iowa state and Kansas state, that
adds another two,
Plus Kentucky, full of horses, and Louisiana
blue.
And so to states that start with 'M', they
total up to eight,
We've got to hurry on with this, we can't afford to
wait.
So start with Maine and Maryland and Massachusetts
too.
Add Michigan, and Minnesota, till your
tongue turns blue.
Then Mississippi, that makes six, Missouri,
nearly done,
And so we reach Montana state, and that's the
final one.
But now we've got another eight, and they all start
with 'N'.
There's Nebraska, and Nevada, oh I'm
glad there isn't ten!
New Hampshire and New Jersey states,
that takes us up to four;
New Mexico, and then New York, and
still we're seeing more!
North Carolina... nearly done, then North
Dakota state,
That means we've finished all the 'Ns', and
ain't that really great!
There's only three that start with 'O', Ohio
is the first,
The second, Oklahoma, then it's ? Oregon
or burst.
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island state, and South
Carolina 'S',
With South Dakota much the same... so
that's them both, I guess.
Then Tennessee and Texas state are two
that start with 'T'
While Utah is the only 'U', as you can
plainly see.
Now Vermont, and old Virginia states
both have a victory 'V',
So now we're hunting 'Ws' ? cos that's the way
it be!
There's Washington and West Virginia,
Wisconsin, and one more,
So we can say with 'Ws' -- Wyoming makes it
four.
So that's the fifty states, my friend, you've learned
them off by heart,
But if you don't remember one ? please, go back to the
start.
