The Journey Inward

"It's an adventure!" he proclaimed,
The drive south toward the end of land,
The "southern most point" it is named,
The history upon soft sand.

Parallel to the old railway,
Islands first seen by DeLeon,
Amidst the cerulean bay,
The tourists would come for the con.

Restaurants, turtles and beaches,
Key West has it all by the load,
Views beyond horizon's reaches,
The real tip is just up the road!

Lobster pizza by the ocean,
Small snickers 'cause we're in the know,
Perhaps we should file a motion,
Nope, the secret is our to take home.
