HYPERBOLE

I live in Texas
where Tall Stories rise
like corn up to an elephant's eyes
Our rivers run
through flood and drought
Ask that Colorado
what she is on about!
Our skies are larger than any other
why they say in space
you can make just out Texas!
Our Longhorns are larger than any other
Don't ask me-
ask their mothers and fathers!
Our pride here in this fair Texas State
belongs to Native Texans-get here quick!
before it is too late!
Our Governator will soon be President-
like 2 Bushs and one LBJ
But first he must partake for a Prayer Rally
to see if God(his only boss)
will give him leave!
If any of these stories
you do not believe
And you are still in Texas-
you better leave!
