Always one to respond to a poetry challenge. You may only want to use some of these...

were you ever in st. ives
where a bonny laddy strives
to save gentle maidens' lives

were you ever in brisbane
building castles in the rain
like a carpenter done 'can'

were you ever in county-clare
sewing seeds 'round everywhere
in the clear delicious air

were you ever in burbank
in a day job at think tank
as your dreams just up and sank?

were you ever in irvine
thinking money's mighty fine
taking pills and drinking wine
