STATE OF CONFUSION
I grew up in Pencil-vania
The name seemed strange to me
A state named for a tube of lead?!
(I took things literally)
My 1st grade teacher told me
It was named for William Penn
Imagine the confusion
In my tiny mind back then
Who would name our proud state
After simple writing tools?
Perhaps it was the same guy
Who sold No. 2's to schools
Good thing they can't change the name
In this day of Compu-Mania
I wouldn't want to claim a state
Called Macintosh-L-Vania!
