Tourists love our great sightseeing
Some like climbing, some like skiing
Colorado has a million things to do
They get goosebumps, even shivers
From our summits to our rivers
In the distance there’s a bighorn sheep or two
We have panning for prospecting
Many trails for disconnecting
But no outlets for you gadget loving geeks
Aspen trees and Rocky Mountains
Waterfalls beat city fountains
Oh the beauty of the lakes beneath the peaks
Now if hunting keeps you busy
Our thin air may leave you dizzy
So be sure that’s not a local in your sights
Enjoy nature and its features
But if feeding baby creatures
Just remember all you tourists, mama bites
If you’re camping, there are black bears
You won’t see them from your time-shares
And the rental prices tend to make you cough
You’ll need permits for your Lugers
There are moose and there are cougars
So your Luger is to only scare them off
Come for rafting, come for fishing
Awesome views will leave you wishing
That your boss will let you stay another day
From Maroon Bells to Lake Estes
We're aware that God has blessed us
But we worry if you come you’ll wanna stay

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
