Living In the Sunshine State

Living in the Sunshine State By Elton Camp The climate is mild most of the year Earthquakes, residents need not fear The hot sun is warmly on your neck Get skin cancer? Oh, what the heck. Susan’s house is right on the canal Where skeeters buzz & reptiles prowl Her yard is a mixture of grass & sand But she thinks Florida is just so grand When to her bathroom she made a call She let out a loud, frightened squall Because right there in her toilet floor Stood a creature she surely did abhor The alligator gave out a terrible hiss The danger poor Susan couldn’t miss Animal control came & took it away Susan did a job right on that very day So that could never happen any more She promptly nailed up the doggy door
