THE IOWA PICNIC.

What's that, neighbor? Did you say
That you came from Iowa?
Well, that's where got my start,
Down in the southeastern part.
Fathers folks were pioneers,
Settled there Iii early years;
Down near Fairfield was born,
Went to school and hoed the corn,
Plowed and narrowed, planted, sowed,
Fished and hunted, swan and rowed.
Iowa. old Iowa!
I'd like to go back and stay.
Over river, mountain, plain;
Memory goes back again;
Seems now to me like dream,
Fishin' there along some stream,
Watchin' till get bite,
Cork goes down clear out of sight.
Cat fish bitin', should guess,
Swallowed hook and all. O, yes.
Beats a-iishin' in the Bay,
Down the streams in Iowa.
Berry pickin' in the wood,
Plums, too, in the neighborhOod,
Through the tangled bushes tall,
Hazel nutting in the Fall.
Hickory nuts and walnuts, too;
Yes, sir! I'll allow it's true
English walnuts good-but they
Amt like nuts from Iowa!
Vegetables don't taste the same;
Fruits are not as good, l claim;
And If / the truth must tell,
Folks here aren't so sOciable.
Then those big corn palaces,
Finest show that ever was!
Ever see them building one?
Well, Iii tell you how it's done.
Corn and cob and shucks and stem,
Palace all made out of them.
Red and yellow, brown and white,
Any color that you might
Wish to mention, lookin' all
But like paint upon the wall;
Hear the band and see the crowd.
Its enough to make you proud,
IT'S for me, at any rate,
That I'm from the Hawkeye State.
Climate! did hear you ssy,
And the sunshine every day!
Well, sir, l prefer the rains,
I'm not scared of hurricanes.
Like them better than the shakes.
I'm no friend of these earthquakes.
Lightning don't mind at all,
But to feel the floor and wall
A-shakin'-well, that's "goin' some;'
Then I'd rather be back home.
California climate Is
Maybe, good for rheumatic,
But give me bracin' day
Back in good old Iowa.
Now, this is picnic day,
Let your troubles blow away,
Moh ~, N,
Council Bluffs or burlington,
Chickasaw or Cherokee;
Polk or Pottawattsmie,
Any place that you can name,
You are welcome just the same.
Take your baskets, hunt the shade,
Cut the pies like mother made"
Eat and drink and shake the hand
or the proudest In the land.
Eat and drink and some fine day
Well go back to Iowa!
