In an era that has long passed,
this land was covered in tall grass,
where bison ranged, both west to east
while grazing on that tasty feast.
Farming is the state’s tradition—
some have made it their religion:
in faith they plow and sow each field,
and hope to gain the highest yield.
There are miles of corn and many hogs
but no oil wells and few great logs!
As place to live, you won’t ask more—
but touring here might be a bore!
Hawkeye greats are hardly flawless—
take Hoover and old Henry Wallace—
though they flopped they still weren’t crooks—
they did not cheat or rig the books,
and thus, they heeded Iowa’s rule—
that being honest is most cool!
