Notes About The Poem

Light Verse
Light Verse poetry, also called light verse, is poetry that attempts to be humorous. Poems considered "light" are usually brief, and can be on a frivolous or serious subject, and often feature wordplay, including puns, adventurous rhyme and heavy alliteration.

Anywhere But Segovia

Anywhere but Segovia, I don't want to vacation there,
what do you think about Madrid, at least that city has some flair?
Pick someplace charming and quaint...anywhere but Segovia, 
last time it was pissing rain, it's nicer in Monrovia.

Perhaps we’ll tour southern France, and sample all the local wines,
anywhere but Segovia...don’t ignore my warning signs!
Maybe we'll sail to Hawaii, or trek north to Mordovia,
choose a romantic rendezvous...anywhere, but Segovia!
