Get Thee To Roanoke
by Jonathan Kraft
Other places in the new world
I just really can not say
But Roanoke is one place
that I am bound to stay.
Here in Roanoke colony
Life is really grand
Free to eat and drink
and plant on lots of land
There is land aplenty
and lots of things to do
the natives are so friendly
the skies are really blue
Let’s talk about the foods
Foods you’ve not yet seen
But when you get to taste these
you’ll be very keen
To get to try some more
and see just how they grow.
I’m learning from the natives
because they really know
there are so many foods.
Potatoes are like brown rocks
they grow out in the wild…
amounts that filled our winter stocks
Maize is seeds of yellow
nutritious little seeds
they are sweet and mellow
the plants grow tall like reeds
Enough about the food though
Let’s talk the smoke
tobacco leaves are smooth
breathe deep, you will not choke
A decision to voyage here
will last your whole life long
It’s hard to leave, but you must come
and hear a new bird song
The nature here is beauty
It’s precious and pristine
so luscious and so fresh
and decidedly green.
I really must be off now…
a native game to play
You really must come here
though it’s a long long way
Come and cross the ocean
It’s more than just a hike,
but here you can create your life
exactly how you like.
