If it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium… but,
Ask any Texan, Houston is Hewston…
If it is mid-week, never say Wed-nes-day
But if you’re in New York, and
Headed to Wall Street
riding the subway,
or walking on foot — call it route 11
You’re bound to cross Houston
But wait… remember this street is Howston
Take your chances
Crossing this line involves
high stakes
Now don’t cross the Nee Yawker
Or be prepared for defamation
Yeah, all over the famous ‘Gawker’
Now if you’re South Asian
No matter where you are
up North, or in the North East
Or down all the way
flying south by Southwest
Please don’t insist you’re visiting Hooston
Headed West?
Surely not to ‘Frisco’!
Headed to ‘Cali’ you say?
Oh, goddess Kali… cut, this isn’t Calicut
If it’s Thursday, Friday, Saturday
or Sunday… who cares
It just doesn’t matter
You’ll stand out like a sore thumb
Deriding San Francisco &
Californians!
They aren’t Texans!
Oh, but didn’t you know
Texas has Frisco, a city
But California has the city,
the biggest in the area + the Bay
So call it by its entire name
“San Francisco”… now you know
That’s Northern California
Away from LA, and miles away from San Dee-ey-Go
Nope, not Sen Diaago
Aww… never mind,
California’s tail end has two cities
and then some… did I mention
Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and even Disney
Mere neighborhoods and a land that’s
Spinning stories, making it merry for this world to go around
Now that… is Southern California!
Texans have hard cash… see, Oil?
Californians have their eyes
On your software skills
For this they’ll poach… occasionally, when not
relaxing at the zoo or safari;
but that said, they do prefer the laissez-faire style
Ouch… but today IS Monday… and there’s no IF
There’s no ambiguity… no ‘but’, nor ‘if’
That’s how it stands… like it, or leave
Stand on no formalities, wait for no goodbyes
People come, and people go
Time waits for no one
If it’s Tuesday, or Thursday
Be it at home, or on holiday in Rome!
