The Train of States

The train of states is rolling by --rush to the window and watch it go!The very first car? The very first Delaware, of course,followed by Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia ...fifty in all.The caboose? Washington, D.C.! Look closely! What do you see?State birds, state flowers, state trees ...forty-three presidents! Can you find them all?Can you spot the flags, heroes, animals, and landmarksadorning the train of states? Clickety clack, clickety clack.Rush out the door, rush to the track.Where is the train going? Come along!Over the prairie, over the mountains,down a green valley, and into a billowing tent.It's time for a party --it's time to celebratethe fifty states!
