My City

The theater is in the park.
The park is behind the school.
The school is on First and Magnolia,
By a basketball court and a pool.


Dad’s office is above the bank.
City Parking is below City Hall.
City Hall is next to the library,
Just in back of the mall.


The museum stands by itself,
Between a pet shop and a café.
Down the street is a great little market.
Come and visit my city some day!
