Burbank to Burbank

From Burbank to Burbank

I’m destined to flit

by auto or airliner

I just get to sit

By car scenery flies right by

By plane I see the full scene from on high.

The how is adventure one way or another

destination is more dear to this mother.

Burbank California the target I boast

More transport to Daniel on toward the coast

Oxnard — city built on the fertile plain

agricultural products had most to gain.

Sugar beet factory gave city its name

Four Oxnards, Ben, Robert, Henry and James.

Acres of strawberries a few blocks away

can be seen from Melito Drive any old day.

But I digress from the city I come

Burbank where my Refuge is home.

Incorporation, the city has not,

just Roadhouse Cafe with burgers hot

a Post Office and Grange Hall and schools for kids all.

Grain terminal on one end of the town

stores and ships grain that is grown.

The soil in this region does make things grow

and honors the Burbank who invented potato.
