To those of you who think that all of Arizona is a desert, <br />I've got some news for you; <br />See the Mollogon Rim and the hundred mile view. <br />Visit the White Mountains, fish in Crescent Lake, <br />The trout await your cast, large brookies there to take. <br />See the Grand Canyon, visit its North Rim, <br />Aspens and blue spruce greet you, filled with deer, to the brim. <br />Drive up Mt. Graham, to over 10,000 feet; <br />say goodbye to desert heat, <br />enjoy the drive; the mountaintop's a treat. <br />Or drive up Mt. Humphries road and climb a trail or two, <br />(There's nothing like a mountain, to get a gorgeous view!) <br />Mt. Lemmon, down by Tucson, is another sight to see, <br />Escape the city's bustle and go and find a tree. <br />You see, we're not all sand and cactus, as any fool can tell, <br />We're a varied scenic land; a little bit of heaven, <br />mixed with a bit of hell.<br /><br />david lessard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arizona-is-not-all-desert/
