A Connecticut Poem

The flag represents history and agriculture

Back on January 9th, 1788

Connecticut became our nation’s 5th state

The city of Hartford is this state’s capital

Where a variety of agriculture products grow

There’s 5,009 square miles in Connecticut

By Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts

Connecticut has a motto that’s well attained

“He who transplanted….still sustains”

It’s the “Constitution State” or the “Nutmeg State”

Though it’s relatively small, its resources are great

Here many goods are manufactured and shipped

It provides fruits and vegetables and lots of fish

Along with mining, fishing, and transportation

There are electrical plants and communication

It supplies much of our dairy and poultry

And household plants grown in nurseries

The tree of Connecticut is the White Oak

And the state’s flower is the Mountain Laurel

The American Robin is Connecticut’s bird

The state’s song “Yankee Doodle” is often heard

And the state’s mammal is the Sperm Whale

It’s the home of the officer: Nathan Hale

And the birthplace of two famous authors we know

Like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe

In 1937 Connecticut became the first state

To issue permanent driver’s license plates

If you vacation there, there are places to go

Like the homes of soldiers and war generals

And lots of museums and planetariums

Plus Weird Science at the Mystic Aquarium

There is live entertainment and festivals

And for children, there are numerous carnivals

There are performing arts, dances, and balls

Gardening and cooking shows, and that’s not all

There are food venues with lots of foods to taste

There are historical sites as the Dinosaur Place

Take a trip to Connecticut, you won’t be bored

You’ll love its culture and the great outdoors
