Music fills the air with Beale Street blues. Elvis Presley never fails to make the news. Mississippi River traffics barges like the Nile. Pyramid, our sports-arena, shaped Egypt-style. Hospitals include the famous one, St Jude. Interstates…look out!  Some folks are pretty rude. Southern Belle’s a wartime gal you oughta see. Take a trip, cross the bridge, at Memphis, Tennessee. Enjoy Smokey Mountain’s restful view. Nashville welcomes all with music and a zoo. Natchez Trail is an historic road and state park. Eagles flock to Reelfoot Lake for winter’s lark. Shiloh honors all the dead of Civil War. Shelby’s name is spread both near and far. Endeavor to attend a fine old university. Everybody come to visit Tennessee!i have no excuse folks...all i can say in my defense, is that this is what happens when i have had too much coffee... :) Written March 4th, 2002 © on Mar 03 2002 05:28 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
