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.
