Against the Elements

We are still at the mercy 
   of the elements 
despite our technological advances
    Today the city is 
covered in snow
     No cars moving, no mail
Inside I am warm and
    watching beautiful women 
on my TV
Late I'll turn on the radio 
   and listen to the
great American songbook
  I'll take the time inside 
 make it into something nice
    The city is reeling 
But New Yorkers have know 
     adversity in the past 
and have always come out on top 
Gotham houses some sturdy people
Who don't give up easily
