PHILADELPHIA
Poem (audio) with travel notes
an acronym poem
P otty-mouthed, proud and pugnacious underdog!
H istory rich and much celebrated- can’t get enough!
I nner city crime there’s a cryin’ shame though!
L isten to its exquisite soulful, jazzy catalog!
A mos Lee hometown concert with a full symphony makes for one heavenly show!
D alessandro’s cheese steak’s the best- forget Pat’s and Geno’s!
E agles (Eh-gulls), Phillies, Sixers and Flyers make and break fans’ heart!
L ove the vibrant street mural and great indoor museum art!
P assionate folks from Fox Chase to Bella Vista, from Manayunk to East Passyunk!
H ub of a great many American firsts in Center City, more than New York!
I nescapable to not mention love for Rocky— but Rocky 3 is all jeers!
A ccent of locals not as obnoxious as the Bah-stonian one to the ears!
