Miami!

Calle Ocho
Look a roacho
it must be Miami!
teeming with humanity
cut with a knife humidity
Miami it must be
La la

Mama Mia!
Santeria!
In the canals the dead goats float
Out in the bay
on any given day
square grouper are afloat
See them from your speeding boat

A penthouse on Brickell Ave
Big bucks you must have
or else it's Kendall Drive for you
Yikes, that's me! what can I do?

Oh, neato
another mosquito
soon you'll have no blood
Will Miami be here
in another year
or will the coastline flood?

In the tropics
there's many topics
backward politics for the win
everything but hate is a sin

Yes, there are flaws
but perhaps it's still great
visiting soon
really can't wait

Author's Note
I may finally, finally be making a trip back to Miami, where I was born and raised. I was thinking about it today, and some silly lines came to me. I decided to just go with the silly theme. Some of the things I mentioned may not even be part of South Florida culture anymore (such as square grouper (bales of marijuana) or Santeria. Dunno.
