The Bronx: The Final Chapter



When we last left the bronx,
You'll remember,i'm sure,
That the broncks served more
Bagels and lox,
Than anyone could endure.
Since then, the borough of the bronx
Approached yonkers,
And then encroached till it
Almost swallowed up yonkers.
The key point is not to forget
Is that the family of the broncks,
Much to the other boroughs' sorrow,
Gave us the name for that wonderful borough,
That we now proudly call "the bronx!"
