Unusual Occurrence In Gotham

The news brings 
tales of murder and mayhem 
Yet city dwellers persist 
in living their lives here
to the fullest 
They go to restaurants, plays, movies, museums 
and concerts as well as poetry readings
Gotham has its delights
There are dangers in this city 
But wise inhabitants
avoid them 
And continue "living it up "
in the "Big Apple"
Today the weather is nice
It is sunny and warm
I think that there may be 
an unusual occurrence in this metropolis today
Hope it is something positive!
