Uptown Girls
12 1/2w x 17 1/2h
“It’s Raining, It’s Pouring....
Sophie and I were bored
As we peered out the back door
And had to acknowledge
The steady downpour
We put on our thinking caps
Our imagination soared!
Hmm, I know,
The Strasburg Railroad goes
To Paradise and back
A short scenic trip
Where Amish farms sit.
Sophie said, “No!”
We’ve already seen that
Let’s go to New York
Via Lancaster’s Amtrak.
We’ll walk up Fifth Ave
Take in all the sights
We do wish “Les Mis”
Was playing The Shubert tonight.
We’ll visit Times Square
With bright neon lights
On tall buildings everywhere..
We quickened our step
We really must get
Ourselves to the Met
For a fabulous new show
Bronzino drawings, you know.
Let’s not forget
That giant statue-et
We hailed a taxi
To the Staten Island Ferry
The ride was right quick
With no time for me
To be quite sea-sick!
The day was soon gone
We made our way back
To Grand Central Station
Our memories intact.
This mini- vacation
Was great stimulation
The ride home so relaxing
We spent the time happily
Dozing and napping...
