Uncle Felbish #1

Where the winter eves are longer

And the wind is ever stronger,

Where the prairie, never ending,

To the loony bin is sending

Hordes of residents who wonder

If the Midwest is a blunder

That the Lord Geography

Made quite accidentally –

So they ball up twine immensely

And then concentrate intensely

On horizontal cars

As they eat their candy bars,

Cuz their pizza is no good

 And the cheese tastes like old wood.

But the beer is cheap and strong,

So they sing a hearty song

As old 'Frisco's Golden Gate

They will try to replicate,

Or perhaps, to ease ennui,

They will plant a mango tree.

That explains the red pagoda

In Bemidji, Minnesota.
