I am from Charlie’s Pizza,
From goulash and roast beef dinner.
I am from grilled chicken with rice.
I’m from tall old trees,
And long football games in my backyard.
I am from one-on-one basketball games in my driveway.
I am from my cat Garfield.
I’m from playing night games around the neighborhood.
I am from trips to Lincoln, Orlando, Omaha, and Sioux Falls.
I am from Nebraska games on crisp cool fall days.
I am from homemade apple pies,
From big bowls of ice cream.
I am from Inspector Gadget, Rugrats, and Saved by the Bell.
I am from the cold dark room in the basement.
I am from naps on the couch.
I am from the shade under the trees
And the forts in the woods.
