Opening Spring Fling in Florida – Part 3 of 3
South of Jacksonville,
Northeast coast of Florida
Sits St. Augustine.
Colonized by Spain,
Oldest city in U.S.,
Briefly British ruled.
Flagler spurred its growth,
Menendez spread religion;
Their legacy shows.
Opening Spring Fling in Florida – Part 2 of 3
Our return to an expanded Disney Springs.
(sung to the tune of Abba’s Fernando)
Can you hear the gasp, Orlando?
I remember long ago when souvenirs were less than this
On a fire sale day, Orlando.
You’ve come a long way from a few shops to miles of chains
I could hear the constant ka-ching,
And sounds of consumerism from all over.
They are so many now, Orlando.
Every hour, every minute a sale is made
My eyes are glazed, Orlando.
Every turn I make, there’s a character from the past and present,
And I’m a little ashamed to say,
The sights and sounds still impress me.
