We were born in Minnesota Then children of the beach Our youth was spent in Georgia Stability just out of reach Different were the houses Schools seemed all the same We vowed when we made our own homes In only one we would remain He made his in Memphis In Georgia I did the same Ozark was never mentioned He never made it plain That when his crappy body died In Alabama it would lie Close for the one he loved I'd never question why But... Where the hell is Ozark I cried driving through the rain God help me to remember Our final home's the same

I love this poem, especially the last line, and I, like Patrick, do know where Ozark is. I much prefer the hills of Missouri to the craziness of LA.

Very touching, Pat. And yes, the final home is the one that matters when all else has faded away.

Ozark is a slice of heaven
Depending on your view
Far away from madness
Assuming cities make you blue
Wanderlust will take its toll
Especially if it's not your game
That's why we've chosen Cape Faire
Because our final home's the same.

Now Pat, you need a redneck GPS to find the place, not be fooled by the one around Mississippi (LOL) but, the title of this poem is more suitable for a gentleman(?) driver that ain't bend to ask for directions an keeps churning on with "Where The Hell Is Orzak???!!!"
Yes, a bittersweet one, some of us were there.
