In September of 1850 California became our 31st state

As for movie stars and beaches, it’s such a great place

Its capital city is known as Sacramento

“Eureka” (I have found it) is the state’s motto

Its population is 37 million people or more

And this state offers tourist attractions galore

California is the third largest state in size

With over 160,000 square miles it spans far and wide

It’s called the “Golden State” for its discovery of gold

And has the nation’s greatest population as we are told

There are big cities as Los Angeles and San Francisco

It’s the land of the valleys and Hollywood Studios

The Golden Gate Bridge crosses the San Francisco Bay

California is notorious in many other ways

It’s the corporate headquarters of Google and Yahoo

And the state where the Silicon Valley is located too

Its climate ranges from subarctic to Mediterranean

Seasons are most extreme in this western land

California produces one third of the nation’s food

With the most amount of turkeys and agricultural goods

There are many state parks and vacation must-sees

The Sequoia National Park has the largest of trees

And the Belmont Amusement Park and San Diego zoo

Plus Sea World, Legoland and Disneyland too

California has great features both far and wide

On the other hand this state has its darker side

There’re tsunamis, floods, landslides, and droughts

And earthquakes are many due to its many faults

There are many wildfires and Santa Ana winds

And inactive volcanoes located there within

While its mountains are high and its valleys are low

There is a great amount of land below sea level

But with its great entertainment and its festivals

For folks that want to vacation, it’s a great place to go

It is dignity for which its residents strive

Everyone should visit this state at least once in their life
