Poems: Extremes in the U.S.

Extremes in the U.S.

Wet: Mount Waialele, Hawaii

There is a huge amount of rain on Mount Waialele,

Much more than you can imagine there may be.

Not far away it is very dry,

And the amount of rain goes down by two times five.

Dry: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very dry,

And the temperature is very high,

It is also very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go.

Hot: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very hot,

Unlike Minneapolis where it is not.

It is also very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go.

Cold: Barrow, Alaska

In Barrow it is very cold,

So unless you are Amundsen, Roald,*

Never ever ever go there,

It is probably too cold for a polar bear.

*- Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the South Pole.

High: Mount McKinley, Alaska

McKinley is the tallest mountain in the USA,

On it, it'll always be a cold day,

Oh, Oh, it is cold and high,

On it your eggs will never fry.

Low: Death Valley, California/Nevada

In Death Valley it is very low,

To Death Valley lots of people go,

It is also very dry,

And the temperature is very high.
