Kansas Prairie
KANSAS
Savannah, Santa Fe, Montana
Laurel Canyon, Susquehanna
San Francisco or Manhattan
Eat your heart out, I'm in Kansas
I'm in Kansas,
Handsome Kansas
In the land of long romances
Fertile plants and cash finances
Handsome mansions, the advance
Of man's expansion here in Kansas,
Rembrandt, Cezanne, could've painted Kansas
The landscape's like the south of France is.
Chopin would have written dances
Had he hung his pants in Kansas.
All the saints, including Francis,
Prayed that if the Good Lord grants us
Second chances, could we
Transubstantiate to Kansas?
by Garrison Keillor
