Of a Peaceful Ferry Ride To Staten Island
As the engines grate.
People read- exclusively.
                    Peace at last- onboard!...

Premium Member The Flowers In My Window Box
the flowers in  my window box died
and I sent their remains in the box
to a landfill on Staten Island 

I was thinking about
Burying them at sea
Or cremating them 

but I  thought 
that they  might like
the country air better
until they come up again...

Shadowless
Neither Punxsutawney Phil today
Nor Staten Island Chuck
Saw their shadows when emerging,
Which to many is good luck.

It predicts a shorter winter
And an entryway to spring,
Though there's skepticism surely 
When a groundhog is the king.

Still, we hark to their predictions,
Causing many to rejoice.
Yet, the almanac, to me, would be
The harbinger of choice....

 whether Puxstawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck 

need to take a new meteorologist test!...

You could be standing in Queens or Manhattan.
Living could also be in Staten Island or Brooklyn.
No other borough has what we have here.
Everybody has heard of the “Bronx Cheer”.
The Bronx is familiar with that infamous sound.
The boys in pinstripes have endured many a round.
Stick your tongue out, put your lips together, and blow.
To voice your disapproval, that is the way to go....
