The Curtis Brothers Hit Route 66
The 3 Curtis brothers, on a vacation at last!
Darry, Soda and Ponyboy get their kicks...on Route 66!
Picnic lunch before a lovely pond in a park named for honest Abe
With a tribute to poor star crossed birds that now no longer dwell on planet Earth
Including ones called Heath Hens that some tried to save
On through lovely Illinois farmland
To the city named for King Louis XIV
Crown Candy chocolates indeed fit for royalty
& toasted ravioli
Tranquil Mississippi River to the Top of the Arch to Bocce ('The Hill' (Little Italy) to Clydesdales to caress at the beer place
Meramec Caverns, so stunning in their glory, with subterranean lakes of crystal clear
Theatrical shows against limestone pinnacles of the caverns, and shows with Elvis at Branson
See the elegance of Coleman Theatre (Miami, OK)
Smile with the Catoosa whale of pure blue
Restored as if new
(Uh oh don't swim next to it though!)
Kick up the heels and dance with imagined guests above
Shop and sightsee below
The one and only barn of round (Arcadia, OK)
Red rocks, canals and courthouses grand
Oklahoma City
Warning: The memorial will make you shudder
Spirits revived at Secret Garden and Banjo Museum
Walk among the characters of great westerns, pioneers and Native Americans
Museum of Western Heritage and the Bronze Land Rush Memorial
Lands of gold and green in West Texas
Agony of the Stations of the Cross
The Fountain of New Life (Groom, Texas)
Meals fit for giants at Big Texan Amarillo
Lay down to dream of flying wild and free with the quarter horses in the paintings of the Amarillo hotel room
Don't forget the ranch of Cadillacs, free to decorate
Say hello to Betty Boop and ET in Glenrio (New Mexico)
Envision oneself soaring over the desert in Tucimcari with the blue swallows on the bedspread
Albuquerque!
O great town of adobe and retablos
Trams that take visitors over 2 miles high
Watermelon sunsets over the rocks
Stroll in the land of Native tribes and famous artists in Santa Fe
Pure forests of Flagstaff
Soar to Saturn in one's sleep
Petrified Forest!
Jewels in the Brobdingnag size logs!
Grand Canyon!
Glide over the meadows and ridges of red, purple and gold!
Then the pools and fountains of Vegas
Step in the paths of the cinema stars
Peer at the Pacific as the road ends
While joy remains
