The United States of....


Have you ever had apple pie?

If not I suggest you give it a try.

America is the feeling of watching

fireworks on the Fourth of July.

 

Dear Dr. Martin Luther King

thank you for giving people a reason to sing.

If it weren't for you, some people might still

be in a world of suffering.

 

Sippin' on some sweet tea

and laying under a pecan tree.

Humming a tune by the one and only

Elvis the Pelvis Presley.

 

From sea to shining sea,

we are proud of being free.

Together we are the "melting pot"

but we're all a little different.

Of all the nations in the world,

there isn't anywhere I would rather be.
