1.
Upon Landing in Flyover Country
We flew above the clouds.
We could not see the ground.
We saw some hills as we went up,
but none when we came down.
2. Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
The sky is bright and blue,
the air is cool and brisk,
but I am flushed and turning green:
I ate the lutefisk.
3. All This and IKEA Too
Progressive to the end,
this state will meet your needs,
and do it with efficiency,
(God Bless the noble Swedes!)
4. Land of a Lot of Lakes
Ten thousand lakes we saw,
and all of them were nice.
Although I think I'd like them more
if they weren't solid ice.
5. Friendly Neighbors
In Minneapolis,
we've really got it all.
And if we don't, then right next door,
they'll have it in St. Paul.
6. The Secret of Longevity
We're healthy folks 'round here,
a fact the world affirms.
We eat well, work hard, and live in
a place too cold for germs.
7. Salt and Pepper to Taste
The diet here is great,
our plates are quite the sight:
with fish and cheese and milk and bread,
our food is always white.
8.
After the Bear
We saw the Northern Lights,
we saw our clouded breath,
we saw our ripped up tent and then
we slowly froze to death.
9.
Football Is An Outside Sport
The Vikings used to play
outside in Bloomington,
but now they play inside a dome.
It's warm, but not as fun.
10.
Where Their Weather Goes
The wind blows from the west
and crosses the Great Lakes,
which makes the snow in Buffalo
come down in sheets, not flakes.
