Extraordinary Places Poem

By Marilyn Lott

Have you ever been to South Dakota?
Well, I have and I love it so much
You will see historic places
That have such a different touch

Mount Rushmore is a towering rock
Why, you can hardly believe your eyes
Famous men carved out so perfect
It is always such a great surprise

Crazy Horse, I’ve followed it for years
Is shocking up against the sky
Brave and determined folks it took
Kinda makes you wonder why

That’s why I love to travel so much
Across our beautiful country
Some are man made statues like these
Some natural and unbelievable to see

Little children can learn so much
Just like these sweet smiling faces
So hop in your car and take a vacation
To our own extraordinary places!
