NoahsArk
Children's book "On Noah's Ark"
by the fountain in the park
named after our patriarch
(George Washington, not Noah, lol)
over graves without a mark.
Come and read before it's dark.

PlasticTruck
Also there's a plastic truck.
Driver probably got stuck.
Some small kid is out of luck.
It seems like a sitting duck.
Might get stepped on by a schmuck.

UnknownSoldier
To the side's a monument,
wall of stone that represents
where the unknown soldiers went
from Washington's regiments
before he was president.

ParkPainter
In the back an old man's seated
with a painting near completed.
By our stranger he is greeted,
"May I look on?" Thus entreated,
the man engages, unconceited.

51
Foxtail
Fluffy fuzzy prickly grass,
filaments like fiberglass,
summer weed along the trail,
possibly giant foxtail.

And around it may be some
large amount of lady's thumb.
In the crush the two hobnob,
bottle brush with pink corncob.

50
FAO
Fun-filled twenty thousand feet:
vibrant toys, delightful treats.
Jellycat and Funko dolls
line FAO Schwarz's walls.

In the back a keyboard lies
on the floor, quite large in size.
Jump around or dance a jig;
play notes like Tom Hanks in Big.

Madness next to Rockefeller,
staff all giving demonstrations.
Oh, look, this one's a best seller,
Barbie's Dream Deluxe Gas Station.

CoffeeWaffle
Coffee Waffle
on a sign.
Soft Falafel?
Get in line!
Fried chickpea
with other stuff,
bubble tea,
and a creampuff.

LIRRTicket
The Long Island Rail Road from Bayside to Penn
departs for downtown once an hour, and then

it whisks you away to the heart of Manhattan
in long metal chains of commuter train cabins.

The fare's just five dollars, a bargain for distance,
and friendly staff wait at the desk for assistance,

but if you don't use the pass you're out of luck,
the fee to refund it's a whopping ten bucks.
