On the Cape

Though some New Yorkers find it odd To take vacation on Cape Cod Due to miles in such profusion, I don't jive with that conclusion. Yes, it's hours away to reach And you can find a closer beach, But it's unique in all its charms, Embracing guests with open arms. The stately homes of weathered gray Gaze out on ocean, sound and bay; And oh, that chowder! Ah, that fish! Yum, that ice cream! All delish! Wander in the cutesy stores. Gather shells on sandy shores. Watch the frolic of the seals, Fighting seagulls for their meals. Listen to the waves that crash, A sound to savor and rehash. Those who seek a true escape Should look no further than the Cape. P.S. Here's a helpful tip To travelers who plan this trip: If Cape Cod figures in your plans, Just beware of Red Sox fans!
