Area Codes ( Version 3 )
In every corner of the nation,
Lies a number that holds recognition,
A series of digits that define,
Where we reside, our own design.
Area codes, they tell a story,
Of where we're from, our territory,
From bustling cities to peaceful towns,
They hold secrets and tales to be found.
Let's start with 212, the heart of NY,
Where the city never sleeps, lights always fly,
It's a concrete jungle filled with dreamers,
Where every voice echoes through the speakers.
Moving down to 786, Miami's heat,
A cultural melting pot, so diverse and neat,
From Little Havana to South Beach's shore,
Music, art, and salsa, it has it all and more.
Heading west to 310, the land of LA,
Where the stars shine bright and the dreams stay,
From Hollywood to the beaches of Santa Monica,
The land of the famous and the iconic.
Now let's take a trip to 702,
Sin City's code, Las Vegas, so true,
Where the neon lights never cease to amaze,
And every fantasy becomes a craze.
But area codes are not just for cities,
They hold significance in every locality,
From small towns with humble beginnings,
To rural areas with scenic settings.
Take 206, Seattle's area code,
Where the rain falls and the coffee flows,
It's a city of green, with mountains and sea,
Where nature's beauty is always free.
Moving to 512, Texas pride,
The Lone Star state's area code that cannot hide,
From Austin's live music to the Alamo's history,
It's a place where southern charm meets modernity.
In 305, Miami's neighbor, you'll find,
The code of the sunshine state, Florida aligned,
From Disney World to the Everglades,
It's a mix of adventure and peaceful escapades.
Let's take a trip to 416,
Toronto's area code, full of grit,
Where the maple leaf proudly flies,
And diversity thrives under the northern skies.
Moving back down to 404,
Atlanta's code, the peach state's door,
From soul food to hip-hop's birth,
The city's energy is felt through every verse.
We can't forget 808, Hawaii's claim,
The code of paradise, where nature reigns,
From the sandy beaches to the volcanoes' might,
It's a magical place, where the sun shines bright.
Area codes, they hold a special place,
In our hearts, they leave a trace,
Of memories made and stories shared,
In the places where we once declared.
So whether you're 212 or 808,
Your area code is your unique fate,
It's a part of you, a piece of your home,
A number that forever will be known.
