Buckeye Poem

Come to Ohio to see

Buckeyes thicker than flies.

Many kinds you will see.

One is a nice green tree

That grows up to the skies

With blossoms for a bee.

One is a football team

Scoring touchdowns way high

And winning with a scheme.

One has a wild fan club base.

When red and white colors fly

All Ohioans keep pace.

Here's to all the Buckeyes.

Columbus is the place.

Let football fly her skies.

And when the game is done

And Buckeyes leaves do fall

The Bucks are number one.
