Venice

Venice.....
of America -

"Coney Island
Of The Pacific,"

Hidden away
on the far
west side 
of L.A. -

Where 
the ocean
surrounds
your every
move -

It's 
"Paradise
By The Sea,"-

And there is 
no place
I'd rather be -

I thank God
for
Abbott Kinney,

The father
of Venice,
for following
his dream -

To replicate
Venice Of 
America,

like Venice
of Italy -

From
Gondolas,
to Bridges,

and his
famous Canals -

To 
Muscle Beach,
The Piers
and
Washington Square -

The People
The Boardwalk 
and
Amusement Parks

To
beachfront 
parties
everywhere -

It's all here
In this
Carnival-like
atmosphere -

For those
who visit
want to stay -

For those
who stay
never want
to leave -

Just take
a stroll
down
Ocean Front
Walk -

To feel 
the charm
of the
Venice
mystique -

A
 picturesque
Beachfront 
town -  

This is
Venice,
Of America -

"Coney Island
Of The Pacific"

Where 
dreams
do come true -
