No NoHo, Ya Know


I was crossing Broadway

At 4th

The words on top of the

Street sign:

"NOHO HISTORIC DISTRICT."

NoHo? NoHo?

We all know about trendy SoHo,

But there's no NoHo!

Oye, mijo, no me 'jo'!

No existe NoHo!

No NoHo, ya know,

It's called Greenwich Village

If you must go.



CHEERLEADER ROCK

The song "Mickey"

Came on 'PLJ

During an '80's Weekend.

Ah, the Cheerleader Song.

You know,

When I was younger,

I always had wanted

To date a cheerleader.

Or, when I was at

Miami Palmetto Senior High,

One of these dancers

Called Chatonettes.

Whatever.

But, I was denied this wish.

Hope those of you responsible

Will pay for this someday.
