Brooklyn Holiday Message
Exiting the Grand Army Plaza subway station a few days ago. My husband was handed this holiday poem from a guy who appeared to be none other than our borough president. Here's the text in full:

Should August's blackout be forgot
And never brought to mind.
When all the subways were kaput
And PC's went offline.

We schlepped across the Brooklyn Bridge
"Twas such a long, long haul.
But then we emptied out the fridge
And shared with one and all.

We showed them Brooklyn's best that night.
So stand up tall and shout it!
Big deal, my friend! So the lights went out.
This is Brooklyn ...
Fuhgeddaboudit!

Happy Holidays Brooklyn!
Borough President Marty Markowitz
