I had been thinking along those lines myself, but since you mention it,
I'll give it a try now. The idea is that Southern California got so
caught up in Dar's romanticized view of Western New York that it
actually moved there. :) In true "Groundhog Day" tradition, this verse
examines What Happened Next...
** Southern California Wants to Flee Western New York **
There's a part of the country, might come off as fickle, kind of a flake
'Cause it tried to change its lifestyle but it knows it made a big mistake
And there's
another part of the country with a social life that creaks and groans,
Where the wistful sighs accumulate like dust upon the telephones
In the houses that are silent, while their owners grapple with *ennui*
As they envy Californians who are free from this monotony.
And sometimes one place wants to escape from the other just to see
What it's like to trade its boredom for the fast-paced way things used to be
Before it moved to Buffalo; what *was* it thinking? What a dork!
Sometimes southern California wants to flee western New York.

I have a couple more verses in progress, but I'm too tired to
finish tonight...
