Ode To America Poem by Mindy DeNigro

D.C., Chicago, Cheyenne, and Boston-Philly, Seattle, Miami, Austin!
Raleigh and Richmond, Ogden and Rome, just several cities you can call home!

This is the U.S., the place I can't deny, more cities to note are Pittsburgh and Rye! Indianapolis and Baltimore, too, have you taken a trip to Kalamazoo?

Hartford and Juneau, Vancouver and Boulder, and lovely New York can't get the cold shoulder! Des Moines and Memphis, Phoenix and Walla Walla-Fort Worth, Albuquerque, Eugene and Ocala!

Portland, New Orleans, Mahwah, and Fort Wayne, have you been yet to Lewiston, Maine? Birmingham, Oakland, Atlanta, Savannah-Tulsa, Honolulu, and Santa Ana!

The City of Angels, which you may know as L.A., have you ever been to the San Francisco Bay? San Diego, Sacramento, and San Marino-Visalia, Coronado, Fresno, and Encino!

Detroit and Madison, Lincoln and Derry-Yonkers and New Haven and Harpers Ferry! Concord, Massapequa, Montgomery, St. Paul-Sarasota and Denver...and that's STILL not all!

This is the U.S., the land of grace, there's not one thing I DON'T love about this place! Step outside each day and take a look around, you'll see all kinds of sights that are sure to astound!
