Key West Nirvana

Surrounded by the ocean on all its sides
An enchanting town about four miles wide
This sun-soaked spot is the absolute best
There’s nothing like good old Key West

The clucking roosters will wake you up
And if not, it’s the Cuban coffee cup
A hot breakfast sandwich is ready to go
At one of the cafes you already know

This tropical island, it never snows
So there’s no need for winter clothes
But the heavy winds will surely blow
As hurricane season comes and goes

Gators, turtles, and jellyfish, oh my!
The ocean is as lively as the vivid sky
Key West sunsets are just supreme
Like something painted out of a dream

A town full of rich culture and history
Even in its shadows, its charm is no mystery
Haunted lighthouses and creepy old dolls
If you’ve seen it once then you’ve seen it all

So whether it’s to wine and dine
Or just to watch the full moon shine
It’ll always be a fantastic time
Key West, Florida is truly sublime
