SHE CAME TO SEE CALIFORNIA
She had come to see Sunny California,
With groves of orange and lemon trees.
Saw the giant redwood and the sequoia,
And enjoyed the beaches and sea breeze.
We became engaged and were married soon,
And were so happy that we made up rhymes.
On Catalina Island spent our honeymoon,
And there it was we learned these lines.
Had a wonderful time at Santa Catalina.
It was thrilling to fly there by plane.
Just 25 miles to Los Angeles, California,
And are planning to soon fly there again.
We like California's big variety of scenery.
Her national parks provided many thrills.
And were amused when honey said to me,
Stranger! "Thar's gold in them thar hills.'
We admired your valleys and Sacramento,
And enjoyed Lake Mead at Boulder Dam,
That was created by the mighty Colorado,
Formerly all into Gulf of California ran.
Those bay bridges to us seemed romantic.
So we wondered how interesting they'd be.
But since we have seen them, are emphatic
They're the most thrilling sights to see.
