Five-Star Cities - Elsewhere

   Paris is gay
     Madrid sways
   Munich's beer flows  
     Amsterdam's tulips grow

   New York and Chicago
     high grime and crime
   San Fran and L.A. ~
     Buddy, can you spare me a dime

Hi Gershon, in the sixties and seventies London used to swing, then Leftie wokeness finally set in. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Christmas and a healthy new year God bless.

I think Chicago Gershon is the worst, the city that is. High crime rate, Liberal off the charts, and the Mayors there have always suck remember Marion Barry. The epitome of a Pimp addict. I wonder what came out of the gutter to vote for this clown. They should make a movie out of him his whole life is Trauma and Drama you wouldn't need to write a script just write his life's story. I wonder what ever happened to him. I wonder what prison he is serving in, doing time for all his crimes. Sad...
