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.
