New York Fast

I go to bed early; Can’t drink too much wine. They offer me seats on the bus. (I decline.) But when I’m out walking I am unsurpassed And proud that my gait Still remains New York fast. I zigzag past tourists And step off the curb When someone’s slow pace Right in front does perturb. I’m not in a rush But the way that I move Is how New Yorkers do it When they’re in the groove. So outta my way And prepare to be passed For as long as I’m able, I’ll be New York fast!

Oh, :) you would so be perturbed at me. :) The only time I walk fast is at night when I'm scared. :)

I just wanted to shout this as I came to the end of this one, Ilene: As long as I'm able // I'll step on the gas! Myself, I'm too gassed these days to even contemplate your lively gait! :) gw

I would love to visit NY but fear the pace of the city would be overwhelming to me so much hustle and bustle and we are just not used to it, but I do enjoy walking around our Island:-) hugs Jan xx
