It's nice here.
There are hills,
And we get a little rain,
And things still grow.

The primordial soup
Where creation began
Did not occur in Bledsoe, Texas.

It might exist there in some powdered form.
I'm pretty sure the sand from there is an ingredient
In the Army's "Meals Ready to Eat,"
That they give to soldiers training to go to the deserts of Iraq.

You can acquire a taste for dust,
And you can eat a lot of it, if you're in a war.

But it's nice here.
