Wisconsin, How do I love thee?

By Maureen Ash

Wisconsin—

How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways–

(Which I can because of my public school days)

I love thee for thy rivers, lakes, and streams,

Thy cows, producing milks and creams,

Thy forests filled with bears, owls, and deer,

Thy pubs that serve such tasty beer.

Thy big-hearted people, at work and at play

Helping each other every darn day.

Wisconsin, I love thee with the depth

And breadth and height my soul can reach,

From Kenosha to Superior’s beach. 

Let us our love in actions coat–

On Tuesday next, get out and vote.
