If You’ve Never Been to Maine

If You’ve Never Been to Maine

 

If you’re not from Maine,

You’ve never seen a sunset,

With all their gorgeous colors like blue, pink, purple, or red.

You’ve never seen trailers,

Trailers that are being moved by trucks,

Or trailers that are just sitting there looking lonely.

 

If you’re not from Maine,

You’ve never seen the rockiest lake.

The rocks are like big bumps

That feel spiky or slimy or slippery.

Some are small and some are big.

 

If you’re not from Maine,

You’ve never had ice cream!

Big scoops of creamy deliciousness,

The sweet taste of your favorite ice cream,

Like chocolate, chocolate chip cookie dough,

Or the Snickers kind.

 

If you’re not from Maine,

You’ve never had a fire,

The orange flames shooting up in the air,

The sound of breaking twigs,

Making hot dogs and s’mores.

You’ve never seen the pine trees.

They are everywhere.

The smell of the pines refreshes me.

 

Do you know what is there?

Do you know Maine?
