BIG APPLE SPECTACULAR

A city once known as AMSTERDAM
Grew into a Metropolis called New York City
Large and in charge
Tourist like to explore
Places like Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and other sights being hard to ignore
Views from the rivers to the shores
The Statue of Liberty for sure
Skyscrapers domination
Immigrants from aboard travel far and wide to get a glimpse and migrant
New York City becoming their home away from home in appreciation
It mounts to sensation
Bus and Subway rides here and there
Moving people anywhere
Being a word of caution in beware as crime is beyond compare
New York City is the place to be
There is so much to do and see

Stores galore to shop
Block after Block nonstop
Fifth Avenue fascination
Shopping until you drop
Fashion capital
Quality wise
Start spreading the news
Watch your credit cards and don’t get into debt
Otherwise, you will feel as if loss a bet
Step right up
You won’t be disappointed in the dazzle and array of entertainment
New York City is never ending
A city that never sleeps
I caught New York City in a quick nap
New York City like no other
Visit and discover
A time well spent
Maneuvering in acceleration
Make it your own personal celebration
New York City style
Worth your while.
