Mitten( German) in the Middle

I was borne and raised up in here.
My name comes from the shape of this great state.
I love being Michigan. What? I said I love being in Michigan.
Everyone seems alright here. I mean everything seems
right here in front of me.
You all know I am coming back to Michigan now
where trees are the best, no, the right height.
The grass is the right color right now.
I used to color it as a child.
It won't always be like that.
But I feel right.
I mean it just feels right about all sorts of things.
Some of the parts of Michigan have dots of lakes,
lots of lakes, like the great lake.
I love them all.
They are inland.
Sometimes I've been to Massachusetts
where I love the ocean.
I love all the oceans everywhere.
But lakes don't get salt on you after swimming,
and there's no seaweed on you,
and lakes do not let you worry about
things eating you in them.
Thank you. It's good to have a home.

Contrary to what you may have heard, this is actually very funny. Mr Mitten is not funny, however. He is anti-funny, not to be confused with an anti-fungal.

I think Mitt is probably a nice person but I just don't understand him.

I think YOU should run for president!

I don't want to get broken.

You have the vote of both my left and right hand.

Hopefully the one hand knows what the other is doing.
