Ogden Nash once wrote the whimsical salute to an American
metropolitan area:
The Bronx? No Thonx.
So in this illustrious literary tradition of great American verse
based upon American metropolitan areas, I add this new, timeless classic:
Southwest Philly? Don’t Be Silly!
I’m not sure who wrote it, but it definitely wasn’t me!
Oh, and some other classic American writer once wrote:
Mobile, Alabama? No Deal, Alabama.
I’m afraid I don’t know who wrote that either, but it
definitely wasn’t me either.
(Actually, I like both of these towns. But they rhyme well
with stuff, don’t they?)
