THE VERRAZANO-NARROWS BRIDGE

(Please click on thumbnails.)

The Verrazano-Narrows,

A bridge that's seen by all;

Its towers are imposing -

They are so fine and tall.

It has a beauty all its own,

Distinct from all the rest;

Sunsets by the bridge, you know,

They really are the best.

I sit beside the water

As often as I can,

To watch the boats and cargo ships

Pass under the mighty span.

Next time you go out driving

Be sure to park your car

Beside the Verrazano -

It isn't very far.
