Lipstick City

Shimmering skyscrapers edge long shaded avenues
Crossing streets that stretch for miles
Eclectic shops are brimming with people
All friendly with welcoming smiles
 
Rivers surround and roam round Manhattan
Hugging these coveted shores
Pockets of sunshine weave through the traffic
Honking their Yellow Cab horns
 
Buildings like Empire, Chrysler and Lipstick
Have views that change day by day
Staten Island, the Bronx, the Hamptons and Brooklyn
Exist in their own special way
 
Cafes are filled with enticing aromas
Restaurants beckon and tempt
Wide open spaces ooze music and Shakespeare
As buskers work to pay rent
 
Hundreds of accents, millions of people
Mingle, connect and survive 
As the big juicy apple continues it’s journey
And New Yorkers move on with their lives
