Click, clack

Sound of wheels on steel track.

It’s passengers seated and sideboard hanging,

Drawing in closely to avoid shoulder banging.

Laughing and smiling as hills fall and rise,

Joy of the children as they stare with eyes wide.

This slow moving coaster, it navigates with ease,

Tourist and locals, all does it please.

One low fare takes you beginning to end,

As seen in the movies, I would do it again.

The cable cars roll through picturesque streets,

Shops and restaurants prove such unexpected treats.

Mixing worldly cultures all living as one,

A city composed of diverse brethren.

This beautiful city a diamond on the bay,

Visitor or immigrant so many have stayed.

Whether riding the rails, up and down dip,

Or walking the streets, such a glorious trip.
