Queens Unplowed (Limerick)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n
We’re in Bayside — no sign of a plow.
\nSo our streets remain hazardous now.
\nThe snow storm’s long done,
\nYet no plow trucks. Not one!
\nHas Queens been neglected? And how!<\/p>\n
Update:<\/b> Here’s my haiku on the same subject:<\/p>\n
Neglected Queens streets
\nPiled with snow and slick with ice.
\nResidents frosted.<\/p>\n
Update 2<\/b> Yet another related haiku:<\/p>\n
Manhattan tourists
\nAsk why Times Square looks so good:
\nSnow was shipped to Queens.<\/p>\n
