[Newspoetry] "North Dakota" -> "Dakota"?

[John Newmark]

Form: homoliteral

United States    

Some North Dakotans
think the "north"
sounds too cold
and want to alter their name
becoming 'Dakota."

However, when their neighbor
decides 'South' sounds too hot
then we'll have 
Dakota and Dakota.

Kids asked the capitol
won't know which was meant.
Not necessarily bad, but still
somewhat confusing.

When North Carolina
And neighboring South
Join in and are
then soon followed
with Virgina's western sister
we'll have mass confusion.

Once again, 
not necessarily bad,
and perhaps the ultimate end result --
fifty states all bearing the same name --
might help unite us.
