The Kentucky flower\'s the sweet GOLDENROD
Their fossil (not Trump !) it\'s the BRACHIOPOD
The proud TULIP POPLAR ~ their elegant tree
Their mineral COAL ! And insect BUMBLE BEE !
Their gemstone a PEARL ~ like a Kentucky Girl
Their instrument DULCIMER ~ it gives Bluegrass it\'s twirl
Their bird is a CARDINAL ~ vibrant and red
Their rock it is AGATE ~ heavey as lead
Their fruit is the BLACKBERRY ~ as black as ya hat
SPOTTED BASS is their fishy ~ and a big one at that !
Their HORSE is a THOROUGHBRED ~ shiney as silk
Drink surely BOURBON ? NO a nice glass of MILK !
The State game is the SQUIRREL ~ 50 shades of gray
And butterfly ? VICEROY ~ cute ~ pretty and gay !
Thanks for visiting ~ how does that compare with your
STATE ? Comments welcome ~ Kentucky Love BRIAN
