Orange Blossom West

Sitting on an apple
Dreaming while awake
Searching for questions
Asking for mistakes

Places I've never been
I remember most
Cold Coca Cola
With my morning toast

Sucking on a lemon
Puckered pink lips
Squeezing green Jell-O
Between my fingertips

Eating a banana
In the places I like best
Florida is my east
Orange blossom west

Red cabbage soup
Tomatoes in a sauce
Sleeping while driving
Ariving to be lost

Jellybeans dancing
On my pierce tongue
Doughnut holes smoking
From my empty gun

Mustard in my ketchup
Let my stomach rest
California calling
Orange blossom west

Fat ladies singing
Skinny man smiles
Pudding in my cupcake
Downy in my towels

Surf the ocean
Ski the sky
Sugar crust on yellow cake
Frosting on my pie

Beaches in the city
Water wet to drink
Oklahoma returning
Bacon grease in my sink

Tea with my coffee
Never time to rest
Abundance of plenty
Orange Blossom West
