The Orange County Great Park

Irvine, California

Of all the different places
Where a few might rather be,
I find that California,
Is the only place for me.

I’ve gone from north to south
And I’ve gone from east to west
And I have found, this state to be,
By far the best.

I have traveled here
And I have traveled there
And if there’s anything better,
Of it, I’m not aware.

Now, I have finally found,
A truly worldly treasure,
The best both near and far
By any given measure.

It’s, the Orange County Great Park,
On Irvine City land,
A fantastic tourist attraction,
Here now, by popular demand!
