The reflectors have been kinda quite as of late, so thought I would pass
along a poem. Can't remember who was "anonomouse" in the last NAQP but
assure everybody that he didn't write it..73 de

ARIZONA
The devil wanted a place on earth,
Sort of a summer home,
A place to spend his vacation
whenever he wanted to roam,
So he picked out ARIZONA,
A place both wretched and rough,
Where the climate was to his liking,
And the cowboys hardened and tough.
He dried up the lakes in the valleys,
Then baked and scorched it all,
He dried up the streams in the canyon,
and ordered no rain to fall.
Then over his barren desert
he transplanted shrubs from hell;
The cactus, thistle and prickly pear,
The climate suited them well.
Now, the home was much to his liking,
But animal life, he had none;
So he created crawling creatures,
That all the mankind would shun.
First he made the Rattle-Snake,
With its forked poisonous tongue,
Taught it to strike and rattle,
and how to swallow its young.
Then he made scorpions and lizards
and the ugly old horny toad.
He placed spiders of every description,
Under rocks by the side of the road.
Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter,
Hotter and hotter still.
Until even the cactus wilted,
and the old Horny Toad looked ill.
Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom
As any creator would.
And chuckled a little up his sleeve,
And admitted that it was good.
Twas summer now and satan lay by
a prickly pear to rest,
The sweat rolled off his swarthy brow,
so he took off his coat and vest,
"By Golly" he finally panted,
I did my job to well,
I'm going back where I came from,
ARIZONA is hotter than hell.........
