Taming a Yankee


	Taming a Yankee At one point in time Yankees were strange to me, The only ones I’ve ever seen were in pictures or on TV. I knew they talked kind of funny other things were done in a different way, So I just naturally figured in “Yankee- land” they would always stay. But, my figuring was way off base as my fate was already planned, For a sweet and pretty Yankee was headed for my arms to land. When my arms caught this Yankee they held on with all their might, To make sure this pretty babe could never again take flight. Now, it’s been so many years I think she’s grounded for good, I don’t think she’d fly away even if she could. I’ve learned a lot about Yankees while making an “Okie” out of this one, But, with some of her strange Yankee ways I guess she’ll just never be done. I still get some laughs when her Yankee quirks pop out, But that’s what makes her who she is and I love her without a doubt. JRS © 5-28-99 The "Okie" Poet All poems copyrighted ã1997-...
