I know it's the eve before Christmas Eve, but I did one last year, so here's another...
A Visit to 270
Twas the night before Christmas
Park Avenue, Midtown
A large skyscraper was rising.
But no glass could be found.
They had shown us the renderings
(After repeated delay).
But just how it would turn out,
At this point, who could say?
The City was accustomed
To watching skyscrapers rise.
And this one was promised
To be Dimon's big prize.
Slated to rise
Nearly 14 hundred feet,
You could see it was massive,
Looking up from the street.
But size alone
Would not make it great.
Some began to wonder
Why the cladding was late.
Would the building top out
Before getting its dressing?
With no info forthcoming,
We were left to just guessing.
In the meantime we wait,
With our holiday cheer.
All to be revealed
In the coming new year.
And when this tower is finished,
It should be a great sight.
So Merry Christmas to all.
(And to all, a good night)
