East ... to New Mexico

Vol. 1  Chap. 493

          East … to New Mexico!

          Just as Summer Was Winding Down,

          Our Wild~Eyed Mother Came Aroun’

          Said, “Tomorrow, What Say We Go

          “East, ‘Til We Reach New Mexico?”

          Bella, She’s Up for Anything!

          Especially If It Means She’ll Sing

          From ‘bout When We Leave the Driveway

          Until We’ve Driven Through the Day!

          The Cliff Dwelling Indians Were

          Quite Clever!   When Enemies Stir

          They’d Scramble Up, Raise Their Ladder!

          Throw Rocks ‘til They Heard Foes Splatter!

          Their Soil Didn’t Favor Farming!

          But That Fact Was Not Alarming!

          They Grew Squash, Corn and Beans!

          Were Their Meals Healthy?   By All Means!

          More Than a Thousand Years Flew By

          Since Cliff Dwelling Natives First Try

          To Live Up In Their Penthouse Suite!

          We Love It Here!   We Think It’s Neat!

        Next Week:  Spectacular Caves in Arizona!
