Come,
“Visit Carson City!”
If you don’t
It will be a pity.
The Carson City Visitors Bureau
It’s just downtown
On the corner of Washington and Carson St.
Is where it is found.
It’s been here in town
25 years or more.
But now it has a new look
When you walk through their door.
This is our capital
Blending the old with the new.
A rich history behind us
And so much to do.
They have a creative team
Joel, Kyle and Chris
And talented backup
How could they miss.
Is it biking or hiking?
Perhaps “Epic Rides?”
We are the best mountain bike race
In the whole countryside.
Perhaps, is it art that you’re interested in?
We have a plethora of galleries
With fine art
A win, win.
Perhaps you want some history, too?
Just walk our Blue Line Trail
Visit our fine museums
Or take a trip on the V&T rail.
Now, I mustn’t forget the shops
And fine restaurants that abound.
Yes, I will be your cheerleader.
We have the best darn town!
P.S. You know I am a poet
It’s plain for you to see.
But stop in the Visitors Bureau.
I also paint and write poetry.
