Look behind and you may find

A tale of two great cities.....

New York and London each defined

By two mayors and a thousand pities.

The difference as far as the fates agree

Between London town and NYC:

One mayor steps up to take the lead

The other to criticise and plead,

While saviours in Manhattan and North Ken

Are linked by courage - now and then.

No one blamed the president,

Not even the meanest resident;

They knew the Big Apple and its pride

Was THEIRS to rescue, side by side!
