Be yourself. Everybody else is already taken.


When the fog's rolling into the bay
All the tourists, they just go away
They say "What the heck is this?
We think sunlight is bliss!"
That's why we don't need them today!

The neighborhood scene is just great
the Mission, the Castro, the Haight
And all of these places
All these people's faces
If you want to come here, don't wait!

So you see, this is called hometown pride
Our city's not long and not wide
But there's something about it
And you want to shout it
"I'M FROM HERE UNTIL AFTER I'VE DIED!"


The author's comments:
I felt that I couldn't express pride in just that haiku (thanks for voting it into the top 5!) so here is a limerick instead. Feedback appreciated!
