BROOKLYN’S SUMMER DELIGHT

Summer means sunshine and ices

Sprinklers and pretty blue skies

Summer means smiles and suntans

Catching waves and fireflies

Yet there’s one small joy of summer

That no one talks much about

It’s right here in good ol’ Brooklyn,

This haven of hot cement grout

It may be hot as a furnace

Compared to grassy upstate

But here’s the special secret:

In summer the parking’s top rate

So go, pack your trucks and boxes

And enjoy those vibrant green places

I’ll stay here happily, behind the wheel

Trying out all of those parking spaces
