Steel City

Come to the hill named Flagstaff 
Climb to the top and glimpse the emerald expanse 
In summer when kites are flying and students laugh 
Or the crystalline mounds in winter when tobogganers prance 

From here we'll stroll past the Carnegie Library toward the Cathedral of Learning 
Where we will embark on another ascent before we proceed
To devour pierogis in the Strip, kayak along the Ohio, and go tunneling 
Through the Fort Pitt and emerge at high speed

Into this land of golden bridges and charming neighborhoods 
The Steel City will not disappoint 
For adventures await amid Appalachian backwoods 
Where a dazzling skyline encases a capitalized Point
