Welcome to Bawlmur Hun

 

This is an acrostic written in a strange language that only people from Baltimore understand...

C'lectivly 'nchanting, 'speshly aul da Key veuws,
Histaurcly rich, maudern, Yerpian, turisty an new.
A Staur Spainguld memry, crabs aur a delcasy to moest,
Raven's aur wurshipd dair, to hell wit dem dam coats,
Merica's best secrit, Camben Yards an dem O's,
Innr Harbor bars an restraunts, Pollock Johnnies and Nati Bo's,
Naiberhuds like Hollan Town, Fells Point an Canton,
Grate muevees wur made by Wautrs, Levunsun an Aultmin.

Chespeake crown jule, wit water taxees and piers,
Illumanaited real purty when da muen and staurs appear.
Two haurs frum down de oshun, home to Poe, Babe, an Ripkun,
Yer in fer a Murlin treat, welcum ta Bawlmur hun.

Baltimore Snowballs

Indelibly delightful desserts,
Crystals of sparkling, syrupy flavors,
Enticing frozen rainbow bursts,
Concoctions of melting colors,
Original, yet familiar,
Luridly sublime, yet subtly similar,
Delectably delicious shavings,
Tantalizingly tasteful drips,
Refreshingly sweet, sometimes sour,
Excitingly simple, yet oddly unique,
A regional summertime sensation.
That quenches the thirst and heat.
