A SALUTE TO TEXASA Poem by poetdougDescribing the history and historical famous people that have resided here in my native Home State of Texas. Willie Nelson, Sandra Bullock, Farrah Fawcett; Davy Crockett, and DALLAS--Who Shot JR?
What do Presidents and Astronauts have in common
What do Coach Tom Landry and Sandra Bullock too? The fact i they are all from the great state of Texas ---Don't you wish you hailed from Texas too? There's George Strait and Willie Nelson Eva Longoria and Kris Kristofferson too; Nolan Ryan, George Bush and Sam Rayburn Celebrities that hail from a Texas point of view. Giant John Wayne starred in 'The Alamo" here Where 183 brave soldiers stood their ground They fought and gave their lives for Freedom That's why the Lone Star State is still around. Texas is the only State where it's still legal To fly the State Flag and Old Glory too; The reason for this is part of Texas History (We once were the Republic of Texas too) Texas hosts the famous Austin City Limits At the live music Capitol of the world; That's why we say "God Bless Texas Y'all" ---It's the USA's limitless glittering Pearl. Texas is beyond Bluebonnets, JR and Dallas More than San Antonio's famous Riverwalk too; If it's not here--you probably don't need it-- (If it worked for Davy Crockett, it's great for you) So thank you President Lyndon B. Johnson That you fabulous Farrah Fawcett too- We Salute the great TEXAS Lone Star State --Aren't you glad I'm in TEXAS too! 2013 by DRR
