TALLGRASS PRAIRIE NATIONAL PRESERVE
TALLGRASS PRAIRIE NATIONAL PRESERVE
Roger A. Davis
Location: Kansas, in the Flint Hills
A place of beauty and thrills
You see how 400,000 square miles used to be
A time when buffalo and antelope roamed this country
An historic ranch house, limestone barn and school
And 32 acres that were not ruined by the plow tool
Donated for visitors by the National Park Trust
With less than 4% of this prairie left, this seems only just
Leave Emporia, head toward Topeka on the Turnpike
And you will view the landscapes I really like
Rolling hills, mounds and panoramic views
A seasonal palette of changing hues
Trails for visitors to hike
And narrated bus tours, if you like
Whatever way you choose to see the Preserve
It is a treat for the eyes you muchly deserve
