minnesota nice

there’s a rare condition

in the land of snow and ice:

the friendly disposition

known as minnesota nice

it quickens when it’s colder,

and wherever you may go,

it’ll settle on your shoulders

like the softly falling snow,

and all it takes, in fact,

is to visit once or twice,

and you’re likely to contract

a case of minnesota nice

Minnesota, Please!

finalmnlakes

Some folks have

Idyllic dreams

With grander

Oceanic themes,

Like sailing on

The open seas

Upon a balmy breeze.

But that is not

For me, it seems;

I love the inland

Lakes and streams,

Their verdant shores

So plush with trees–

Minnesota, please!
