Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

'car 54,' Pandemic-Updated

Hum or Sing this to the 
tune of the theme song
of 'Car 54, Where are You?'

          *******
There's no gold up in the Bronx
   Brooklyn's cops are all uptight
There's looting up in Harlem
   That's lasted five long nights

Manhattan is a ghost town
   There's nobody around
Mayor de Blasio,
   Where are you?

         ********

The hit TV Show, 'Car 54,
Where are You,' ran from
Sept., 1961 to April, '63.
You can google the theme
song, and even watch a
clip or two from a show.
Pretty silly stuff about
a pair of hapless cops.

Gershon Wolf April 12, 2021 at 5:15 PM Actually glad to hear that Manhattan's not a ghost town. :) gw

Caren Krutsinger April 12, 2021 at 6:16 AM I loved Car 54 where are you; the song came back immediately so thank you! Gershon Wolf April 12, 2021 at 4:04 PM Did you know that they had to change the line, 'There's a scoundrel's stole a child,' because of political correctness?! -- Back in the 1960's that beast was already rearing its ugly head. Ugh. Peace Gershon

J. Summers April 11, 2021 at 9:13 PM Toody and Muldoon were a hoot. Fun poem Gershon. Thanks for the memories. John Gershon Wolf April 12, 2021 at 3:55 PM Ooh, Ooh! They don't make cops like that anymore. ~ Body Camera Guy. Thanks, John...
