Stopping by San Diego on a Sunny Day

This city mine, for six years now
is making its most seasoned bow
to guests and locals, everyone,
its sandy beaches and sunshine, wow.

We’ve grown accustomed to the sun,
we feel entitled, everyone.
The nights, while cooler, still hold their cheer,
no holding back the mid-year fun.

Our friends back east are very clear
about what matters, what is dear;
it’s family, and friends who matter so,
kept close at hand, in hearts, so near.

But the humidity’s too high, this I know.
I have promised no sweating, not ever, no.
I have rays to catch, snowbirds to tease,
I have rays to catch, a tan to show.
