CALIFORNIA
It is always summertime in this fair land;
It is hard for one to understand.
Orange blossoms fill the air;
Fragrant perfume everywhere.
Roses bloom beside your door;
Bathers stroll along the shore.
And just beyond, of course you know,
Mountainpeaks are white with snow.
Gardenias, orchids, white and blue
Would like to pin themselves on you.
Pepper trees in gowns of lace
Add their beauty to the place.
Palm trees tall and shaggy sway,
Guardsmen of the long highway.
A few miles out the desert waits,
Just outside the City's gates..
Cactus, sagebrush, silvery sand;
This is truly Wonderland!!!!
