Dali Delight:
St. Pete's museum, with art so grand,
I took a tour, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on marble floor,
And tumbled down with quite a roar.
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In St. Pete, joy's no surprise.
From art's bright charm to city's cheer,
St. Pete's laughter's always near.

I tried to surf, felt divine.
But then I wiped out, what a show,
The surfers laughed, "Way to go!"
From waves so high to sun's delight,
St. Pete's charm is pure and bright.
