Analysis of South Florida
Way down South in the famous sunshine state
Exists a region laden with the old
A land of stucco and a high tax rate
A land with products worth their weight in gold
The climate is like a crematory
Don’t be shocked if you randomly combust
Be warned, tourist traps are predatory
If one enters, proceed with much distrust
If truth be told, South Florida is hell
Indefinite limbo for those inside
I don’t like it here, if you couldn't tell
To vacate the state is a joyous ride
Despite what has been said, most quite like it
The people here are freaky, I’ll admit
