I love New York <br />With the different views <br />And many scenes! <br />I love the 'village'... <br />Both East and West it seems! <br />Central Park and Park Avenue <br />Sylvia's and BBQ's <br />Theater shows and vendored rows <br />Selling the finest art and unique <br />Designer clothes! <br />I love Manhattan and the Bronx, <br />Brooklyn and Yonkers too! <br />Staten Island is okay... <br />But there is little to do! <br />I love to watch the people, <br />From cafés that solicit dreams. <br />I like the nightlife that seems so right! <br />But if it's passed a certain time and I'm late... <br />I can't get into Queens! <br />And that's the only thing about the 'City' I hate! <br />The only thing that makes me 'steam'.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
