I Am Fourth
Gayle Sayres was third, all of those years ago,
I am an even less glorious fourth,
A loser in the Boswash to and fro,
Behind D.C 's south and Cambridge's north.
I believe New York's best in biz and arts,
While Boston excels in science and zeal,
D.C.'s best in vying for people's hearts,
Philly trails--that's truth, not just my own feel.
But Philly is the place that draws me in,
It's like my much-loved Jersey, but urban,
A repository of city sin,
In purple state, rural and suburban.
You Northeast leaders--you are truly great,
I prefer Philly and my fourth-rate fate.
