I Put On For Pittsburgh
I trip to the O,
For grease monkey fries and a 40oz,
Scaling the Cathedral of Learning,
This is Oakland.
A roll of the die,
Stadium of choice,
Clemente Bridge connects us,
This is North Shore.
Fat Heads,
Tattoo parlors,
A thrift shop heaven,
This is South Side.
An Incline ride upward,
Pricey housing here,
Best view of the city,
This is Mount Washington.
Carnegie Hall,
Monty Python monthly,
Music and theater are alive here,
This is the Theater District.
Nightlife rays,
Morning meat shops,
Fresh food, legendary sandwiches,
This is the Strip District.
Extreme movie luxury,
Shopping for dropping dead,
Adjacent to one of many flowing rivers,
This is the Waterfront.
Culinary capacities,
PNC bank abound,
Fear of death by rubbing alcohol,
This is Downtown.
The only bar to attend,
Ice skating around a Christmas tree,
Mirror sky-scrapers,
This is PPG Place.
Three rivers,
Connected in a field of green,
The most amazing fountain on the edge,
This is the Point.
This is Pittsburgh.
