A Lost Island


On a small island, to us it’s big
For everyone else, we don’t exist
 
 
Taking walks in Clove Lake Park
Basically our own Central Park
 
 
The zoo Wednesday, it’s free
Nothing has changed
 
 
There is nothing exciting to see
Going to save the money for the mall this week
 
 
Wants some Ice Cream?
Too Bad Ralph’s is closed
Edgers is the way to go
 
 
Forest Avenue is Time Square
Especially the Holiday Stroll
Filled with Hot Coco in the air
 
 
Teens trespass into Seaview
Taking insta flicks
Never understood the excitement behind it 
 
 
Wagner kids go to the extreme 
Ordering Dunkin Donuts 
As their daily routine
 
 
We’re not trash anymore 
Were tired of Method Man thoughts
 
 
Staten Island is not that bad
Or the best
Just give it a try
You will eventually leave with the rest
