The Greeks gave us the Olympic Games And mythical gods with funny names. But they caused lots of grief for me When they invented Geography. I am not in love with Geography. It's about weird places I'll not see. To tell the truth I see no use And think it's simply child abuse. We study earthquakes with no result— I still can't figure who's at fault. In baseball games, I'll bet you'd find, They called the Roman Empire blind. |

Remember a flat top hill that's cute And you won't mispronounce a butte. Why, out in Montana, (weren't they witty?) The folks used Butte to name a city. I just don't care and never will About sea level up on a hill. But it has a special meaning to me When I'm wading out into the sea. I found my mom and then I asked her, "Tell me about old Madagascar." She said, " Let me think, I'm just not sure, But I heard the doctors found a cure." And because the Greeks liked Geography Dumb questions like these are asked to me: Will crossing the Equator make you weary? Are ear muffs the answer to the "Big Bang Theory?" Were the Sandwich Islands ever eaten? Are folks in the Badlands ever beaten? Are there remainders at the "Great Divide?" Are the You-kraine and Me-kraine side by side? Do brain surgery, I'm sure you'll find That Geography has clogged my mind. Just take it out and I won't fret. I can find that stuff on the Internet! —Grandpa Tucker |
