California Daze

Everyday is a California day

where you can put your stresses at bay.

The sun will always shine

and the wind feels just fine.

Playing beer darts in the backyard

or a drinking game with a deck of cards.

Nothing compares to the Santa Monica Peer,

which holds perfection like a set of veneers.

The taste of ice cream from the creamy

has the ability to put me in a state of reverie.

There’s always a need to wear sunglasses

like when I go outside for one of my classes.

Sitting outside playing a board game

really isn’t that lame.

The ocean is a healing power

with it’s salt water shower.

There’s something about this life that is too perfect

but for now I’ll just experience this California effect.
