Travelling to the New World


Very soon the sidewalks of New York

Will greet Steve and Stevie for the first time

They will boast of the subways and the buildings tall

Of their endless streets and the urban sprawl
You will visit Macy’s Tiffany’s and Bloomingdales

Where hopefully the fun toys are in the sales

They will recommend a park in the middle of the city

With its springtime light and blossoms so pretty

They will suggest that you transfer to a Manhattan deli

For breakfast in New York where you can fill your belly

Perhaps mummy and daddy will take you to a loft

Where you can play with your new toys so pristine and soft

Enjoy the New World

My granddaughters two

Till I see you again

Under the Deal skies blue
