Sods To You..I Am American Poem by James McLain

I am not from England closed minded
Americans sod the ground with fresh
grass so the feet do not stray.
I am American.
Bleeting sheep are bleeting sheep
in America bleeting sheep speak
bleet.
I am American.
A pound weights sixteen ounces
no cents comes of that.
I am American.
English is a foreign tongue to all who
do not speak it.
It is learned to speak to convey that
which other wise would be lost.
Speak no more of things that cannot
speak because they do.
I am American.
