Ironbound Frolics:

Newark's Ironbound, flavors sweet,
I tried to eat, what a treat.
But then I spilled it on my shirt,
And laughed so hard, it didn't hurt.
The locals smiled and gave me more,
In Newark, joy's at the core.
From market's cheer to city's light,
Newark's joy is pure delight.

Newark's museum, art so grand,
I took a tour, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on narrow stair,
And nearly tumbled through the air!
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Newark, joy's no surprise.
