Stonehenge 65
An ordinary building
On a busy New York street
Has been christened Stonehenge 65,
To make it sound elite.
Though the buildings all have numbers,
Some are honored with a name
With the hope, perhaps, that moniker
Will bring it some acclaim.
But a Stonehenge in the city
Sounds pretentious, lame and dumb
And whoever chose that label
Is as clueless as they come.
Still, at least it made me smile
‘Cause that extra 65
Gives a warning you should not expect
Huge stones when you arrive.
