PLAZA

PLAZA

Roger A. Davis

I like this word: PLAZA
In Italy, they say ‘piazza”
Not sure of the rhyme
Does it have to every time?

The Country Club Plaza opened in 1922
In Kansas City, Mizzou
Stores with Spanish architectural themes
A place to buy your shopping dreams

We’ve been to southwest plazas like in Santa Fe
A good time to be had on a fiesta day
An American version of plaza is a city square
A court house and park benches to breathe fresh air

Some have fountains or works of art
But on Turnpike, $1.60 does depart
A toll plaza, a gathering of cars and trucks
But maintenance costs big bucks

The Court House in McPherson is a sight to be seen
Awe-inspiring Clockhouse and Park, very keen
Lyons, Kansas, too, has a great City Plaza and Museum
I wish you all an invitation to come
