When in Manhattan

One way to tell a tourist

In the New York City scene

Is if someone on a corner waits

Until the light turns green.


For natives look both ways, of course,

And if no traffic’s there,

They cross against the light or else

Mid-block, without a care.


This always was illegal, yet

We locals would insist

That the law was so ignored it seemed

It didn’t quite exist.


Well, now that’s true, for since last week

Jaywalking is allowed,

So all you tourists, take a chance

And join the New York crowd.
