New York: A holiday to remember

“New York, New York” resounds in heads

As rooms are assigned with comfy beds

A new adventure is to arise

With lots of fun, full of surprise

Guided by Mr Robertson to streets unknown

The Empire State is the next to be shown

Collapsing on heaps we struggle to bed

“Lights out girls” need not be said

First ride of the subway with an imminent shriek

Next to Ellis Island, then to ground zero we peek

Dinner on the run then the evening show

Mary Poppins here we come with are faces aglow

Off to the Guggenheim with its spiralling stairs

Searching for an opinion with looks of despair

Then in grand central station shopping is done

And a long walk back, oh what fun!

Saturday comes and it’s off to Carnegie hall

We learnt a few facts and had a ball

5^th avenue shopping without a stumble

And lots of time spent in apple crumble.

Sunday was not for the faint hearted

With our trip to the famous MOMA we started

Then to radio city for a stage door tour

Where we met a Rockette and got pictures galore

Monday was the day, which ended our trip

With shopping and packing and cleaning to fit

To souvenir stores we did wander

Then to Macys we hit with thunder

Then to JFK some do not hasten to go

The sadness on peoples faces show

But go we did some with saddened faces

And memories and pictures of our fabulous places

Saying goodbye but only for a while

We thank the teachers (and fireman) with a smile

Mrs Higgins, Mrs Dowse and Mr Robertson we thank you

And not forgetting Miss Wilson and Tony too.

Yours

Jahz
