Monday, March 2 is Texas Independence Day – and the first day Texas Standard begins airing statewide! To celebrate, we asked Sean Petrie with Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo to pen a poem.
TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY
It happened way back,
In 1836.
March 2nd was the day,
Of independence.
After hard-fought battles,
We became our own state.
We’ve been improving ever since,
And we’ve turned out pretty great.
Though there are still a few,
Who’d like us to secede.
Let’s celebrate where we are,
‘Cause we’ve got all that we need.
Got an idea for a poem we should give to Typewriter Rodeo? Leave a comment on this page, tweet us or send us an email at TexasStandard@kut.org.
