Washington D.C.

a place for learning and leisure

People walking around

Enjoying frozen treats on a hot day

Kids learning how rockets work

Cherry blossoms in bloom.

many places to stop and enjoy

Madame Tussauds

a well renowned place

the figures look like mere reflections.

One look at their face

And you wouldn't be sure they were fake.

The Smithsonian

Is a place to learn

About the waters in the deep

Or the animals extinct.

Spiders from nightmares on show

Or see

Martha Washington's dress from 1789.

The Memorials are a wonderful thing

Honoring and remembering

Wars, and past leaders and people who

Made history.

And to learn from the past

For we were

Not always the land of the free

Or the home of the brave.

People who sacrificed

For our country

To be what it is today.
