FLORIDA

FLORIDA
IS A STATE OF SUN
A PLACE TO GO
TO HAVE SOME FUN

BEFORE YOU GO
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE
OF MANY THINGS
THEN GO IF YOU DARE

DRIVERS MOVE
FROM SIDE TO SIDE
LIKE ON THE OCEAN
WITH ITS NEVERENDING TIDE

THEY NEVER SIGNAL
THEIR INTENTION
AS IF THEY WERE
IN THE FOURTH DIMENSION

CHECK YOUR MIRROR
YOU WILL FIND
A SCARY SIGHT
A CAR CLOSE BEHIND

TAILGATING, IT SEEMS
IS A POPULAR GAME
MOVE OVER, THEY SHOUT
DON’T BE SO LAME

RED LIGHTS, OF COURSE,
MEAN NOTHING MUCH
IF THEY SMASH YOUR CAR
YOU COULD USE A CRUTCH

MOTORCYCLISTS RIDE
WITHOUT HEAD GEAR
ZOOMING THROUGH TRAFFIC
SHOWING NO FEAR

OF COURSE, YOU SEE,
AND IT’S NO GROANER
THEY SOON WILL BE
AN ORGAN DONOR

EVERYONE HERE
CARRIES A GUN
THEY SHOOT AT EACH OTHER
JUST FOR FUN

PALMETTO BUGS
ARE REALLY ROACHES
WHEN THEY COME OUT
IT’S BUENOS NOCHES

ALLIGATORS ABOUND
IN EVERY LAKE
APPROACH TOO CLOSE
A LIMB THEY’LL TAKE

PYTHONS LIVE
IN THE ‘GLADES
SLITHERING ABOUT
AS IF ON PARADE

SQUIRRELS DOWN HERE
ARE CALLEDS TREE RATS
RED ANTS ABOUND
NEVER WEAR FLATS

DESPITE ALL THAT
WHY AM I HERE
ISN’T IT OBVIOUS
ISN’T IT CLEAR

WITH TEMPS UP NORTH
WAY DOWN BELOW
I HATE THE COLD
AND ESPECIALLY SNOW

SO HERE WE ARE
IN GOOD OLD FLA
DESPITE THE PROBLEMS
IT’S STILL LIKE A SPA
