Thank You, My Friends

Thank you, thank you, all so very much,

for the chance to come and play.

Words can't really say it, but I need

my gratitude to display.

-

The time has flown so quickly be.

I'm now on my way home,

loaded down with t-shirts

and this silly little poem.

-

I had such a lovely time,

my feelings cannot be expressed.

The entertainment was fantastic,

but I liked the people best.

-

The New Yorkers I encountered

were courteous and polite.

I had not a bit of trouble,

(I didn't walk around at night.)

-

I had a lovely dinner

at a restaurant called "The View,"

I ate a hot dog from a vendor,

and got celebrities autographs, too.

-

I walked the streets and took a tour,

to see the buildings, tall.

I saw The Lady in the Harbor,

standing there to welcome all.

-

The statue of The Immigrants,

with emotion, filled my soul.

And the Universal Soldier,

made me almost lose control.

-

I've always known that travel,

gives the traveler great rewards.

I'm coming home, and by the way,

Broadway sends you her regards.
