In the first days of the land that because the U.S.

There were things in the land that no one could guess.

Gods and giants — mayhem

And people to fight them –

And then everything made quite a mess.

(Um, this book has a whole lot more poetry and grace than this limerick does.  Sorry, Joe and Will!)
