L.A.  (Los Angeles)

straight tequila shots
mez-cal highs
all-night lows
short skirts waiting across the bar
dark lipstick schemes
willing to go as far

L.A. high-life
hollywood hills
convertible chevrolets
fast lives on seacliff drive
summer blondes on beaches lay

heroin addict dreams
foolish city lights
searching spotlight beams
inner-city gangs
faithful choir sings
just another sunny day
living in L.A.

Yo MarkG,

This is a fine tribute to the town.  Everyone should love where they live.
