Second Avenue Subway

They’re building a subway
(They call it the Q)
To run underneath
Second Avenue.

It’s nearing completion
(But way overdue).
They’re hoping by New Year’s
To have its debut.

Construction’s so noisy
(If you only knew!)
That the neighborhood feels
It’s been getting the screw.

But now they’re on deadline
(With much ballyhoo)
And the streets are so tight
You can hardly pass through.

If it ever gets finished
(Despite the huge crew)
We’ll be shocked ‘cause it seems
Like a classic snafu.

When the new year begins
(And there’s still no review)
All New Yorkers will sigh,
Unsurprised, as on cue.
