Cathy's Cafe

Cars climbing up to Cathy’s Café

Sitting on top of Cabbage Crest.

Slick slippery sliding snow-smothered

damp-frozen mist-hung snake-slither road.

Big-rig semi-haulin’ 4-wheel grindin’

stud-crunching chains-clinkin’ trucks,

Cadillacs and Cameros and piece-of-crap junkers

All chugging up to the neon halogen glow

HOT SOUP and COLD BEER and FRESH BISCUITS.

Rough-scrabble sardine-tight parking lot,

Gravel-packed ice-gelled concrete

Crunch-slip-slide into the bar,

Hot and dark and bright white under booth lights

Beer over here!

Hey honey you need warmed up?

Disneyland On My Mind

"All the birds sing words and the flowers bloom,

In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room."

A wonderful world of color and song,

In the Tiki Room things never go wrong.

A pineapple whip helps wing you away,

To lands of joy with no troubles all day.

Outside the park it is dry and hot,

Inside the park people laugh a lot.

Out in the world people hate a fear,

Inside the park there is love and cheer.

Nowhere else in the world is there such a wonderful place,

With so much magic packed into such a very small space.

Disneyland is a place where magic’s awhirl,

Where everyone welcomes each boy and each girl.

Disneyland is a dream made real

By the heart hope and love

of one man, and a mouse.
