Ah, Boston

Home of the Boston Celtics

Who playing the Miami Heat, as I type this

There’s a lot of history in your city.

I’m also a big fan of how people from Boston talk too,

with their unique accents.

I saw you a few times, during my travels back in 2018.

Not as much as I would have liked.

Our American Constitution ship would go there,

to let passengers off, and have new ones come abroad.

The tip money they would leave made me feel…RICH.

The first time I saw you, it was a very cloudy day.

I wasn’t supposed to get off the cruise ship.

A disobedient co-worker did,

so I thought it was okay to do it.

I didn’t know any better,

was still learning the ropes then.

Luckily I got back on it time before, we sailed to Portland, Maine

Your weather is very eerie though.

You think it’s going to be it’s foggy and raining all day.

And then in five seconds, it’s sunny with blue skies
