There are so many stars
Here in Yellowstone National Park
I think I see my home galaxy
Far away in the sky
Because locals here gave
Turning off lights a try
Under skies black and dark blue
I pose one question to you
Name each state this park occupies
Of which there are three
Then it will be no surprise
You’ve won Where could I bee
