Poetry from Joseph Ogbonna

The Texan Adventurer

I am an intrepid adventurer

I have journeyed through the Texan desert.

I am the perilous desert’s venturer.

I travel from desert to semi desert.

I hunt for the feral hog and the beaver.

I explore the hot plains like an achiever.

I have been warned by the lethal rattle snake

to protect my heels that are always at stake.

I must protect myself from a thousand stings

in haunted dark caves where the buzzing bee sings.

I must be safe in the Chihuahua desert

as I tread audaciously like an expert.

Give Me Texas

Give me Texas!

The Texan dream!

The Texan nostalgia!

The Lonestar custodian

of the historic wild west.

The zestry and pleasant

Tex Mex!

The attractive and entertaining

rodeo.

The ear to ear smile of the

unwavering southern hospitality.

The efficiently distributed plains

and landscape.

The bucolic tunes from strings and mellifluous western voices.

Hot and catchy barbeques.

The exciting fairs and typical western culture.

Give me this Dreamland, the nearest take off point to the moon.

Give me the Texas that I crave for!

The land of versatile dreams for the fantasizer.

Give me this vintage and modern land or nothing else.
