For a fun vacation, I suggest San Diego might be for you
A city with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures and plenty to do
Its proximity to the border gives you lots of Mexican food choices to try
Endless beaches with boardwalks for strolling nearby
The zoo provides you with a spectacular array of animals far and wide
Balboa Park with its stunning architecture has to be tried
The biggest swap meet you have ever seen
Something for everyone I can tell because I have been
Little Italy is a part of town, and great Italian cuisine sure to delight
The old town where it all began, a taste of Mexico, a must-see sight
A few miles away Legoland can be found
Children can build things and take rides that will lift them off the ground
Coronado Resort is not to be missed with its idyllic charm and golden-era look
If you want to have a wonderful holiday in SanDiego you should book
FIX THE STREETS
Fix the streets.
One day the people will rebel
and stop paying taxes.
Fix the streets.
No one will want to live
here in San Diego.
Fix the streets.
One day the people
will revolt.
Fix the streets.
This is not the time
to put up with crooked politicians.
Fix the streets.
Wealthy people won't want to live here.
Fix the streets.

She was next to me, She was real. How could this be? She so long the substance of my most hopeful daydreams. Physically so far away, but residing in my heart everyday. Could she be mine for more than this weekend? Only if fate smiled upon us, around the bend. Would her heart open again, and let me in?
Here begins a series of Burns stanzas
commemorating the Catholic Missions found in Old California along "El Camino Real", The King's Highway. The rhyme scheme is
aaabab and the meter is trochee.
Lines "a" are tetrameter lines and lines "b" are dimeter lines.
California's oldest mission.
Shrine provides appreciation,
viewing proselytization.
Converts, business,
making tribes of Christian passion.
Seeds brought, priests bless.

My mind is a pool brimming with thoughts,
Some exist in undisturbed corners as dust bunnies
In places where eyes can’t behold;
Seeing and hearing things are thought activators,
Often fetching me to long ago times,
To a place or person long since forgotten, until now;
The memory of touch, and passing of time,
Often reveal scars thought long ago healed;
Of times when my heart spoke,
But I wasn’t paying attention.
It is the third largest city in California.
It lies just north of the border from Tijuana.
This is a nice big town where many a tourist stays.
The municipality is home to the Chargers and Padres.
The weather is warm and sunny, and hardly every raining.
It is where the U.S. Marines take their boot camp training.
This place has been around since the Conquistador.
It has much to see and experience, and more.
The California city is a place I am sure you know.
It is none other than the City of San Diego.
Apricot nectar, I licked from her lips,
suckled the dew like honey
from melon ripe breast
and in time did savor
the heady heavenly flavor
of passion's fruit in all the rest
and night birds
beyond the window
...sang a new song.
Invasion of tears on a lonely street
I crash spheres of sadness that burst with a sigh
There's no one to tear me apart I can meet?
..a Lexus is lost and the driver is shy...
The freezing orchestra plays in my head
Police sirens as one play with my memory
A voice seems to utter " They will give us bread !!!"
As tearing, lost souls head for the Crematory.
I dream I wake up as pure as a kid
"No More Tears" - a shampoo bottle promises in vain
This time though white traces of a salty skid
Releases my heart, my hopes and my pain...

Sailors go to the San Diego zoo,
looking for pretty girls who go there too.
Sugared monkeys a good time,
always tossing plenty grime,
by reaching behind and throwing at you!
