Another Summer In Nyc

I am reminded of songs by the Beach Boys who sang of idyllic summers The city beaches are with lifeguards to protect those in danger The asphalt homeland is filled with tourists and I also note that there are youth playing handball in the parks Light from the sky beats down on the homeland The masses of people in the city are experiencing a heat wave The water stations are open So the people can drink deep Everyone possible should drink deep of the joys of summer in what O.Henry called "Baghdad on the Hudson"
