It was 100 years ago now <br />When Oklahoma became a state <br />Folks gathered all together <br />So they could celebrate <br /> <br />They wore the clothes to show <br />What people wore back then <br />Made you feel like you were there <br />It was truly a wonderful blend <br /> <br />The music, ah, the old style <br />Playin’ their fiddles and guitars <br />By the campfire into the night <br />Under the twinkle of Oklahoma stars <br /> <br />Folks telling stories of long ago <br />Makes you want to smile <br />But also about the difficult times <br />So fun to shoot the breeze for awhile <br /> <br />Oklahoma landscape is always <br />The place to get your thrills <br />Maybe someday you can visit <br />Those wonderful Oklahoma hills!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-oklahoma-hills/
