Water and bridges
Cobblestone streets
Bleached white headstones
Metropolitan and history meet
Diagonal driving
Cross town hiking, biking
Seeking a Red Sox sighting
Fenway old but distinguished
Dressed up like an Irishman
Hardened up from the workin’
Proud and beaming
Red and brown brick lines the streets
Row houses with small porches
Engulfed by city sounds
Bunker Hill to Berklee
Dunkin’ dashes and salutes
Boutique shops and bar stools
Alley cats and battle tunes
Street Dogs on the marquis
Two shots of Jameson on the bar keep
There are cities, towns and villages
But Boston has a heart that beats
