New York City has a plan
To build a “transfer station;”
Such a pleasant moniker
For so much aggravation.
To build a “transfer station;”
Such a pleasant moniker
For so much aggravation.
For in more realistic
terms,
They really mean a dump.
Giving it a fancy name
Won’t even fool a chump.
They really mean a dump.
Giving it a fancy name
Won’t even fool a chump.
Tons of smelly
garbage
Will arrive in endless trucks
Bringing traffic, rats and noise
And costing mega-bucks.

A local center used
by schools
And camps for recreation
Will bear the brunt of all the evils
Of this “transfer station.”

The residents who
live nearby
Have argued and appealed,
But lack of empathy
From Speaker Quinn* has been revealed.

No neighborhood
should suffer
When folks’ health is on the line.
I hope somebody’s listening,
For this neighborhood is mine!
