Matt is "Here in Texas"

This is my first time on our blog that the most dutiful and venerable Devin has been creating and updating. Thanks Devi.

Here in Texas where the sun is a bright steamy graefruit
old dusty cowboys stroll into german delicatessens in Fredricksburg
and eat peaches that taste like they came out of Eden
'cuz they did.
Here in Texas where the apossom and spotted cow roam
You'll never seen so much road kill in your entire life.
Here in Texas where the farms are a plenty and the trees deep green
yellow signs remind you to "Drive firendly" because
that's how Texans drive.
Here in Texas where the best place to be at noon is in the shade
I wear my black cowboy hat and wonder why everybody else ain't.
I "get my grub on" with Blue Bell ice cream and know that it's the best beause
it's made in Texas.
Here in Texas where doors are held open for the ladies young and old
the folk are kind and say
"howdy" and "sir" and "ma'am" and "ya'll"
but you probably already knew that.
Here in Texas "don't mess with texas"
but you probably knew that too.
Here in Texas the Lone Star state
where the land gives a bounty of fruit and trees
A grand ol' house, a manor of sorts, stands proudly made of brick and white pillars
in the shade of an acorn tree that's older even than the house,
and through the branches and rounded leaves
as I knew it would be there
flew a Texas flag
small against house
not one tear in the seams

Thanks all of the Aggies in Aggieland
