About

Winter’s ended. Welcome spring!
Celebrate. Do a handspring!
Get yourself a new spring robe,
Or refresh your print wardrobe
With works from this droll ditty
Showing spring in the city.

The Chanin Building’s aglow,
Tenement lights share the show.
Perhaps the lights are a trope,
Reflect her longing and hope.

Temperature’s inferior
In East Side Interior.
Her bodice is décolleté
To help keep the heat away.
She welcomes the breeze that blows
While baby sleeps as she sews.
Overfilled apartment’s dense,
Temperature is more intense.

Look at the poor soda jerk:
Others relax, he must work
In the Village one spring night.
