In San Francisco passing through

I came upon a street named Gough;

Allergic to a street named Gough

I there began to sneeze and cough;

I parked my car beneath a bough

That overhung the street sign "Gough,"

And rested there awhile, although

I did not like the street named Gough.

No, I did not like the street named Gough

About which this is quite enough.
