My First Poem Ever (27 Sep 1974)

I came from Finland one lovely day
To spend a year in U.S.A.
And here I stand in front of you
Supposed to say a rhyme or two

My country is a lovely one
Where even at midnight we can see the sun
Thousands of lakes with pretty strand
Are one of the beauties of my native land

Nebraska out in the West
Will be my home till summer next
But that's not all - I saw much more
When I toured towards the western shore

The words you use are hard to say
But I will learn at least by May
It is so neat to be down here
I get a lot within one year
