Poems from My Vacation 4 – Juneau

The capital of Alaska

In the Southeast of the state

Is a street where jewelry stores abound

And shirt shops congregate.

We visited a gold mine

That closed in ‘44

‘Cause everyone’s favorite Austrian

Got the miners sent to war.

We panned for gold, discovering

A treasure to hold dear:

That we’d have died if we’d been born

In a gold rush type of year.

On every side were waterfalls

And the sun was warm and high.

Overall a decent town

Provided it’s July.
