The Big Apple - Come Take a Bite

The Big Apple a poem

Awesome by dayand dazzling by night.I’m called the Big Apple:Come take a bite.See Liberty with her torch held high.Towering buildings that scrape the sky.Yellow cabs, sirens that scream.Cops in blue, roads that steam.Broadway, subway, highway, JFK.I never sleep, I’m open all day.Cents and bucks, money talk.Walk, don’t walk. I am NEW YORK.
