cornfields and soybeans
soybeans and cornfields
lined along the highways and byways
cardinals are fewer than crows
stealing the precious grains
before the harvest
"who's there?"
"who's there?"
"hooo saire?"
"hoosier?"
so they say
midwestern dreams of youth
how far can I run
no more cornfields
no more soybeans
no more crows

To all of you hoosiers out there, the intent is not to offend, just to remember thoughts of my youth.
this is great!
