California, A Poem

 

      CALIFORNIA

FAST AND PRETTY

SHINY AND NEW

 

ANCIENT REDWOODS

PACIFIC BLUE

 

HER LONG TAN LEGS

AND GOLDEN HAIR

 

WARM SUNNY SKIES

AND DAYS SO FAIR

 

DOLPHINS SWIMMING

THE SURFING GREAT

 

MAJESTIC BRIDGE

THE GOLDEN GATE

 

OFF NEWPORT COAST

THE SUN SETS LOW

 

IN THE DESERT

THE CACTUS GROW

 

SIERRAS RISE

TO GRANITE PEAKS

 

IF YOU CLIMB IT

IT’S QUITE A FEAT.

 

VERDANT VALLEYS

AND RUSHING STREAMS

 

AN ARTISTS’ REALM

A SPORTSMAN’S DREAM

 

THE SAN JOAQUIN

CROPS GROW SO TALL

 

THE RICH FARM LAND

IT FEEDS US ALL

 

OLD JEANS, LOOSE TOP

AND FLOPPY HAT

 

SHE COULD BE RICH

HOW ABOUT THAT

 

CASTLES AND KINGS

ONLY THEY’RE REAL

 

CASUAL DRESS

IS NO BIG DEAL

 

THE YOUNG AND OLD

CREATE THE DREAM

 

CALIFORNIA

ALL THAT IT SEEMS
