Fun Stuff
 At NATS, we know that just because you're working hard, it doesn't mean you can't have fun! Every year we sponsor a Corn Poetry Contest-and the winner receives a $50 gift certificate to Southpointe Mall. Although it hasn't been scientifically proven yet, we believe that every Nebraskan teen has an innate love for corn-you just need an outlet to express it! We hope you enjoy reading some of the fine literary works below.

2008 Corn Poetry Contest Winners
Kiss De Corn
By Bérénice Daly
Sung to the tune of The Little Mermaid's "Kiss the Girl"
(The tassel)
Yes, you see it,
Sitting there across the row
It has got a lot of bugs,
But there's something about it
And you don't know why, but you're dying to try,
You want to yank it out
(The squad-leader)
(S)he's behind you,
Picking all the ones you missed
Hopefully (s)he'll bump you up
So you won't be the slowest
It don't take a word, not a single word,
Go on and pick your row.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! My, oh my! Don't let it pass you by!
Go on and yank it out!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Don't pick bad, you'll make your leader mad,
Go on and pick your row.
(The hardships)
Yes, your feet hurt,
Your hands might have blisters too,
Your neck is all cut up,
And your arms have corn rash
And your legs are sore, this round is such a bore,
But just keep picking now.
(The Force)
There you see them,
Picking at the speed of sound,
You know they won't let you down,
Now the Force is with you!
So don't sit out now, don't let your whole bus down,
Go on and pick your row
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Don't stop now, this is your final round,
Go on and pick your row!
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Forget your woes, a bailer's in your row,
Now it's time to go.
