near San Barbara, California, USA

Ronald Reagan played with his radio,

spinning dials and whispering scores,

tuning in to happy hour

with an "Aw shucks" and a dime

bagging a governor gig in the process,

wooing Nancy with his swimming smile

out of the pool

onto the big screen

with a big hat 

and bigger friends

like a Director's cut

surfing onwards to the national spotlight

to the White House with a burning Bush

winning a Cold War

with patriotically hot breath 

to Infinity and Beyond

believing in great deeds,

then riding his favorite horse into the sunset

close to Hollywood Boulevard

but more northerly,

on his ranch 

under the big sky

near Santa Barbara, California, USA,

USA. USA. USA. USA!
