Texas lawmakers have reconvened at the State Capitol Building for the start of the 86th Legislative Session. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
The Lege Is Back
It’s winter-ish in Texas
And two long years have passed
The Capitol building prepares to welcome
This, it’s newest class
The senators and reps arrive
And with them, all their crew
Who run the bustling offices
Who send the bills on through
Endless meetings to be had
And friendships to creat
As the capitol becomes the beating heart
Of our vast Lone Star State
From its rosy crested dome
To the hinges on each door
The Capitol building sparkles
From Rotunda to gleaming floor
And so we cheer them, hard at work
Writing legislative tomes
Spending endless days and nights
In the Capitol, our Texas home
