GOETHALS TO VERRAZANO

 

It’s been said

that Staten Island is more

than just a sprint

from the Goethals Bridge

to the Verrazano Bridge

 

I’ve seen a few pizza shops

& Mexican Restaurants

on Victory Boulevard

but it largely seems

to be a forgotten borough

that geographically ought

belong to New Jersey anyway.

 

Before New Yorkers think

of annexing Philly

as a 6th borough

they ought give a little love

to the long forgotten 

5th borough they already have.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was also based on notes from a limo ride to JFK. The same ride that produced Zen Anywhere New Jersey.

Staten Island should be part

Staten Island should be part of New Jersey based on geography but it isn't.  Mobsters and the Wu Tang Clan need somewhere to live.
