MONDAY ON THE MISSISSIPPI (EXCERPT)

Monday on the Mississippi
Lake Itasca, Minnesota

A little lake among so many lakes.

A little stream among so many streams.

A little girl wiggles her toes

in the shallow water and wonders,

How long before we're big and strong,

little Mississipi?

How many miles? How many days?
