In Which I Provide An Encomium To A City That Could Be My Spiritual Home

This Portland, Oregon's, my kind of place

The mayor rode his bike in the parade

Along with Segway gangs out keeping pace

Along the route with bands and floats. I'd grade

The total effort "A." To top things off

My dream pub I discovered here this day:

The Lucky Lab, a brewery and trough

For drinkers' dogs (and bicycles, hooray!).

I've yet to mention Pow'lls, but on this trip

I'm prob'ly not to make it there to fall

Upon my knees to angels' song; I'll skip

It just this once, as long as we four, all,

Return to Lucky Labrador's for more

Organic Pale Ale; I do so implore!
