What I love about Texas

I was going on a trip to Austin (my home town) and had just learned my first 3 chords on the geetar and decided to write a song about Texas

In Texas the cicadas

Sing so beautifully

In their little family chorus

Hiding up in the trees

 

They're singing really well

They're swaying in the breeze

But that's not what I love about Texas

 

In Texas it'll stay

one hundred degrees for forty days

You can take a million showers

Never wash the sweat away

 

Yeah, the heat is pretty bad

There's not much water anyway

But that's not what I hate about Texas

 

The cicadas shed their skins

To cool their violins

And all the cool kids wear them

On their T-shirts like a pin

 

Now I love those little bugs

And the heat has always been

The bain of my existence

It defeated all my whims

Now thermometers aside

And insects blowin' in the wind

That's not how I feel about Texas

 

I don't know my ethnic origin

Or much about my family

But I know that I'm from Texas

And the coolest city

 

The cicadas and the heat

Shaped my personality

And that's what I love about Texas

That descibed texas well. It is very hot, and it does have a lot of cicades. But it is a wonderful beautiful place, as your poem is to.
