                                                 A Longhorn Named Texas                                                           

                                                  Once upon a time an itsy

                                                  bitsy teeny weeny calf was born.

                                                  With a name of Texas, she dreamed

                                                  of being the biggest longhorn.   

                                                  At first she was mockingbird size

                                                  who ate lots of pecan pies.

                                                  This made her grow as big as a filly

                                                  with an appetite for nothing but chili.

                                                  She grew and grew, as tall as can be

                                                  until she could not eat any more chili.

                                                  Now that she is tall as the great oak tree

                                                  with horns that spread from sea to shining sea

                                                  She can roam around the ocean coast

                                                  through farms and ranches which she loves the most.

                                                 Singing along to her country songs

                                                 Thinking of how much she belongs ... here!
