"Give Me a Home," a poem, to the tune of "Home, Home on the Range"

Oh, give me a home where the cows do roam

and breathe fresh dairy air.

They walk on grass, not wooden slats

and hang out with the old mare.

Home, home on the farm. The sheep got out, o darn,

The chickens are fat, the eggs tasty,

This place is no factory.

Oh, give me a home on the old prairie

Where the deer and the fox you can see.

The grasses grow tall, hear the turtles call

It's all about ecology.

Home on my prairie, Where there's no hunting

The enthusiasts insist, no garlic shall exist

They maintain nature's beauty.

Oh, give me a woods where the bear and wolves run free

but in Alaska it's not to be

A thousand wolves dead cause Palin instead

wants the boys to shoot moose trophies.

No home, home in the woods, where the governor is queen

her heart is of ice, she's not very nice

and full of inhumanity.

Oh, give me a country where the eagles fly free

and we teach our kids about trees

a trip to the barn to learn about yarn

the grace of Mother Nature they see.

Home, home in the U.S going green, a precedent

we want our water pure, our air very clean

and God bless the Humane Society.
