The Sunday Whirl Wordle words:
apple bottle city dust fuss green plop slack
small strips
squeeze tower wicker
The Big Apple, New York City
One feels bottled up if one chooses
But if one kicks up the dust
and makes a fuss
There are lots to see
Take the Subway to the Grand Central
From there branch off at leisure
The green of Central Park
Plop right in the center
Or go to Times Square, 42nd St
Where all the action is
There’s Broadway, for the polished
Or squeeze into some small strips joints
for those inclined to base tendencies
for those inclined to base tendencies
While around are skyscrapers that tower above
In the distance the Brooklyn Bridge
Take the Staten Island Ferry which is free
And get a closer look at Liberty
A bus city tour covers Harlem, Empire State
the Museums, Chinatown and Little Italy
Or in the evenings dinner at chic eateries
and sporting activities
at Madison Square Gardens
and sporting activities
at Madison Square Gardens
and Yankee Stadium
And these are just Manhattan
Do not slack go out of the wicker trap
There are still the other 4 Boroughs
For which Hank did not get to see fully
Except for Rockaway Beach at Queens
Except for Rockaway Beach at Queens
Peering only from a distance are the rest of
Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx
and Staten Island
Yes, certainly lots more to see!
Note: Hank was in New York for some while
but could only cover some parts of Manhattan

Thank you for sharing the Big Apple. Your images of the city resonate.
ReplyDeleteTimes Square is not my favorite place...I like the quieter parts of Manhattan. I like your poem very much though.
ReplyDeleteLoved the tour of the Big Apple!
ReplyDeleteGreat tour... I have not been in NY in more than 20 years...hmm time for a trip..
ReplyDeleteNYC full of wonders..take the subway to Chinatown eat in Little Italy..oh so many things one can do..visit the little zoo in Central Park or just sit and enjoy the view..
ReplyDeleteAs the hackneyed old phrase goes, it sure is a great place to visit. You give us a flavor of much of than, Hank.
ReplyDeleteHank, you know I lived there for years! Went back two years ago and what a change. Too bad you didn't get to Grey's Papaya, a landmark little joint at 72nd and Broadway. Best hotdogs (kosher) and fresh OJ.
ReplyDeleteI agree, one must be ready to go off the beaten track. And verrrrry nice use of the Wordle, sir! Love, Amelita
Hank, extremely good! Never been to the US but this took me for a nice little tour. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHa! My head is spinning - It is a city that requires many days to see.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful, but overwhelming place.
ReplyDeleteLuv your take on the prompt; and what a grand tour
ReplyDeletemuch love...
