I am that Nassau local

I start out at that Metropolitan that looks so southern

Wind up next at a road that's missing a pond but remains fresh

Then to that place that's a few thousand trees short of a Forest

Followed by that little slice of upstate that Queens decided to keep for its own

Seneca

Then right on to that two way where everyone gets off, Wyckoff

Where you can get to Rock Away on that famous Parkway

Or count up to 8 on 14th

Straight on right over that block named after a forgotten sneaker

Or is it New York's basketball team?

Then to a central that is too crocked to live up to its name

To an unknown but lively part of Broadway

Mixed with flavours of Flushing, Lorimer and Hewes

Adding in a pinch of Marcy to the brew

Right before we go through to the other side

The other slice

Don't fail on me now Willie B!

Go back a few letters in the Alphabet for the F for Coney and Jamaica

Back in order to 2 letters before you P's but the Q's remain, so mind them both

Of course the R and W join in too, all beneath the canal that doubles for a street

To chambers to do it all in reverse

That is until rush hour

Until then its back to Metro on the local

The Nassau Local
