Brooklyn

(3 stories)

It's the palace of culinary delights
In that city that never does sleeping
Jam roly poly and cream rice pudding
Best pie and liquor in that busy big town
All the society creme de creme come in
The only pie and mash shop in Brooklyn

What's that bit of water called Sam?

Its a Brook Lynn?

I am both disgusted and amused at myself for writing that.

‘You remember how the Beckhams called their child Brooklyn?’
‘Yes Tom, what of it?’
‘Well Sandra, it wouldn’t be the same in lockdown.’
‘Ha ha, yes you would have to call them home or something.’
‘Proper parlour names… like Parlour.’
