Your City Poetry Contest Sponsored by Christopher Delegans
Let me tell you about the city where I am from Welcoming patrons is the rule of our thumb We're usually friendly to all that come visit And when some folks leave, they'll say that they miss it There's plenty to do here, but we don't have any shoppe's There isn't no crime so there aren't any cops Most of the people here know one another Because everyone here has the same mother It's just me and my sis and my younger sister Jac My parents set sail and they never came back This city was built by my dad all alone His name now engraved in a statue of stone It took him two years to complete this city with no name But most got destroyed when a hurricane came This city is on an island in the middle of Hawaiian bay Far away from the Island's volcanos... so they say" The only diner here serves seafood and fish You must try the sea urchins they say they're delish! It's a lovely city to live in so if your ever assail Come visit our Island and my sibs with our tails Look for the sign that says- "The Mermaids live here" And perhaps, if you like, you can buy a timeshare!
