A Toast to Ole by Irene Cody

As I walked along the San Clemente Pier
I muse that Old Ole Hanson’s voice I hear
Who goes there along my shore?
Just I a lady enjoying it more and more
As I walk briskly back and forth
I can’t describe its incredible worth
I go to the end and look out to sea
Then back again sometimes grabbing a cup of tea
We are all so glad you built your seaside village in Spanish design
Something nobody can malign
So pour a glass and raise it high above
A toast to Ole and the town we love!
