New York City Is Like This Aunt Bea

If you are raised in a friendly small town like me
New York City is a difficult place to be
Saying “hello to every stranger” you see,
Earns you wicked glares and stares,  Aunt Bea.
Worse, they will cross the street in a non-talking people sea,
To not have to face you, not have to hear you, and to get away from thee.

"Aunt Bea" would definitely not like it there.

She surely would not! I read a book once upon a time with an Aunt Bea story in it. She was reclusive unless she was on the "set" apparently.
